Quick Pickled Onions

Quick Pickled Onions are thinly sliced red onions soaked in a mixture of apple cider vinegar, water, maple syrup, and sea salt. The onions soften and take on a sweet-tart flavor within an hour at room temperature, making a crisp, tangy condiment. They enhance dishes with their sharp acidity and slight sweetness.

Description

To make Quick Pickled Onions, combine apple cider vinegar, water, maple syrup or another sweetener, and sea salt in a bowl, whisking until dissolved. Thinly sliced red onions are placed in a jar and the pickling liquid poured over them until fully covered. Allowing the mixture to rest uncovered at room temperature for one hour softens the onions and develops their tangy, sweet flavor.

These pickled onions add brightness and crunch to salads, sandwiches, tacos, or grilled foods. Their balance of acidic and sweet notes lifts flavors and provides contrast. They can be refrigerated in their liquid for up to two weeks, making a versatile, quick condiment.
