How to make quick and easy pickled onions

If you don’t have pickled onions on hand, definitely make my quick and easy pickled onion recipe below.

In a glass jar or a container with a lid add:

Firstly, whisk all the ingredients together (except the onion) in your container.

Secondly, slice the onions however you prefer and add it to the container with the pickling juices.

Thirdly, store them in the fridge for up to a week (The longer they sit the better!)

Pickling onions is so easy to do and it really takes this salad to the next level.
