    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the onion slices with vinegar, sumac, salt, parsley, and mint.
  2. Toss everything together: Use your hands to toss everything together, massaging gently.
  3. Let it sit: Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  4. Serve: Use immediately or store in the fridge in a tightly covered jar for up to 1 week.

Notes

  • Switch it up: If you don’t have a red onion on hand use a white or yellow one.
  • Vinegar: I prefer red wine vinegar for this recipe, but you can use white wine vinegar as well. The flavor might be a little sharper and the color won’t be as bright, but the pickled onion will still taste amazing
