Easy Pickled Onions

These Easy Pickled Onions are the perfect addition to your next backyard BBQ!

Oh, how I love onions!  I'm pretty sure they make anything taste better....salads, pasta, tacos, sandwiches, burgers...I could go on for days.  But when it comes to fulfilling all your topping needs, these pickled onions are the way to go.

I am all about making recipes as easy as possible.  This one is no exception. With six simple ingredients, that are more than likely already in your kitchen, you will have yourself a delicious addition to any meal.

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?

• 1 red onion- sliced
• 1 cup + 2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoon sugar
• 2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon peppercorns
• 1 cup water

HOW DO I MAKE EASY PICKLED ONIONS?

Start by slicing 1 red onion as thin as possible.  (I like to use a mandolin slicer for this.  It makes the slices more even.) Pack the onions into a jar as tightly as possible.

Next, in a small bowl, combine 1 cup + 2 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoon sugar, 2 teaspoon salt and 1 cup of water.  Whisk the ingredients together until the sugar has dissolved into the liquid.

In your jar, add 1 teaspoon of peppercorns along with the pickling liquid. When you are finished, seal the jar and place it in your refrigerator for at least 3 hours.  The longer you let it sit, the better!

Store them in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 4 weeks (if you don't eat them all by then).

Don't simply serve boring sliced onions with no pizzazz or spunk.  Make a batch of this Easy Pickled Onions and kick your BBQ to the next level.
