Pink Pickled Onions
Everything is prettier in pink.
I’ll be the first to admit that it takes a special kind of onion to get me to eat it. I’ve always picked them out of dishes, never added them to burgers & basically tried to avoid them as much as I could!
Until I met… Pickled. Onions.
Vinegar-y, sweet-ish, pepper-y onions? This, I was SUPER into! I’d add them into salads. onto sandwiches if I saw them on a menu. But I knew I needed a quick way to make them at home! This is the perfect time of year for adding a bright, acidic punch of flavor to those savory summer dishes.
You can add these pickled onions to:
sandwiches
salads
bbq dishes
avocado toast
omelets
tacos
& pretty much anything you want!
Ready in just 30 minutes (but longer marinating means more flavor) — these are a summer fave in the making to top, mix or add into just about dish you’re whipping up!
