Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup white distilled vinegar (60g)
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (60g)
  • 1 Tbsp granulated sweetener of choice sugar, Truvia, Splenda, Swerve, etc.
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 large red onion thinly sliced

Instructions

  • Add white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and water to a container and whisk to combine.
  • Add sliced onions to vinegar brine and toss around. It's okay if all the onions are not submerged in the brine, they will shrink as they start to absorb the brine.
  • Store in fridge for at least 12 hours (best after 24+ hours) before using.
  • Use pickled onions for your salad, sandwich, crunch wrap, anything your heart desires for a pop of sweet tang flavor!
