If you’re like me and don’t exactly love raw onions, but like the onion flavor and a little crunch, these are for you! Pickled onions are the perfect addition to salads, sandwiches, burgers, and more. They add a slightly sweet and acidic onion flavor, and don’t forget the beautiful pink color. We eat with our eyes first!

This recipe for pickled onions is so quick and easy and adds a perfect depth of flavor to any meal. They appear fancy for very minimal effort! That’s a win-win in my books!
