Notes
- Red onions: This recipe will also work with yellow onions, white onions, and even shallots.
- Red wine vinegar: I love the taste of red wine vinegar, but you can use any vinegar that you prefer or have on hand such as distilled white vinegar, white wine vinegar, or apple cider vinegar.
- Yield: 8 ounces of raw onion will yield about 2 cups sliced onion. One batch is enough for 8 servings, 1/4 cup per serving.
- Storage: Store pickled red onions covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
