Cooking Tips

• For a milder flavor, soak the sliced onions in cold water for 10-15 minutes before pickling.
• Experiment with different spices and herbs to customize the flavor of your pickled red onions.
• If you prefer a sweeter taste, increase the amount of sugar in the pickling liquid.

Storage and Serving

• Store pickled red onions in a sealed jar or container in the refrigerator.
• They can be enjoyed immediately after pickling, but the flavors will intensify if allowed to marinate overnight.
• Serve pickled red onions as a topping for burgers, tacos, salads, sandwiches, or even as a garnish for grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
