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.
