Pickled Red Onions

Pickled red onions are the ultimate topping to elevate burgers, salads, eggs, and more. Their crisp texture combined with sweet and tangy flavors make them a must-have in your fridge. Not only that, but red onions are antibacterial, full of antioxidants, and boost digestive health.

This tasty condiment takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and is ready to eat in as few as 30 minutes. Quick-pickled onions are best consumed within three days, but they keep for 2 to 3 weeks in the refrigerator.
