Quick Pickled Red Onions

Ingredients

  • 2 medium red onions (thinly sliced (mandolin or knife))
  • 1/3 cup lime juice
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Steps

  1. 1

    Using a mandolin or sharp knife, thinly slice the red onions then place in a mason glass jar or other airtight container.

  2. 2

    Top onions with lime juice, vinegar and salt. Seal lid tightly to secure and shake well to completely submerge onion slices in brine. They're ready to enjoy after sitting for 1 hour but taste best after at least 24 hours.
