Quick Pickled Red Onions
Having a jar of pickled onions on hand can take a dish from good to GREAT. Excellent on tacos, eggs, sandwiches, salads, pizza, etc, you won’t want to be without these pickled red onions. And you won’t have to – you probably have all the ingredients on hand! Ingredients with an asterisk (*) are available seasonally right here in North Iowa!

Equipment

Notes
This recipe will double or triple easily. I like to use pint jars. Excellent on sweet potato tacos, eggs, sandwiches, salads, pizza, etc.
