- 1 large red onion
- 3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1 to 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, can use honey or pure maple syrup

- To slice the onion, cut it in half to create half-moons. Use a very sharp knife or mandoline to create uniform, thin slices. You want the slices to be about 1/8-inch thick.
- In a medium jar or bowl, combine the vinegar, warm water, sugar, and salt. Stir until sugar and salt dissolve.
- Add the red onion slices and stir, making sure the onion is covered. Let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.
