Notes

  • Please note that I am not a medical or nutritional professional. I provide nutritional information for my recipes as a courtesy to my readers. It is calculated using the Sparks nutrition calculator and Weight Watchers points are calculated using the Recipe Builder on their site. While I attempt to provide information that is as accurate as possible, you should calculate the nutritional information independently before relying on it.
  • The nutritional information, particularly the sugars and sodium, may be inaccurate because the onions do not absorb all of the pickling liquid.
