Pickled onions are so easy to make! They transform from raw red crunchy onions to delicious tang and crisp for the ultimate add-on to breakfast favorites like salmon and a bagel, eggs, or as a side dish to any protein.

Pickled Red Onions

Just how easy is it to make pickled onions?

A quick chop, boil, and some spooning action: that’s it! Pickled onions are super easy to make. It’s nice to have a couple of jars on hand to top salads and side dishes, or even to add them into sandwiches. Pickled onions take onions to the next level and are a wonderfully salty treat!

What do I need to make Pickled Onions?

Onions are anti-inflammatory and benefit heart health.

Along with onions, you will need apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, some water, and sugar. (You can use white, brown, coconut palm, etc. sugar. But keep in mind that the taste will change with each one, usually it’s made with plain white sugar). Finally, there’s salt for flavor.

What else can you add to the pickled onion?

Flavor pickled onions more by adding 2 garlic cloves, fresh herbs (oregano, rosemary, or basil), or a teaspoon of dried herbs or peppercorns.

How to Make Pickled Onions

Start off by peeling and thinly slicing the red onions (preferably with a mandolin slicer), then cut into half-moons. Peel and slice garlic cloves if you are adding them to the recipe.

Add white wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, water, sugar of choice, and salt to a pot, then bring to a boil. Then, quickly reduce the heat to a simmer. If you are using dried spices, add them to this also.
