Pickling veggies is quick, easy and requires a few basic ingredients. Pickling will also turn raw, pungent onions into the most delicious, tangy, crunchy, and let’s not forget pretty, vegetable. Pickled red onions are the best way to jazz up your salad, veggie burger or buddha bowl. They might look fancy, but they only takes 5 minutes to make! I love pickled red onions; they pack a ton of flavor and are so light and healthy! Just add them to your next meal and take it to a whole new level! They taste incredible and they will keep in the fridge for 3 weeks (maybe more). I love using a combination of apple cider vinegar and red wine vinegar, but you can use either one or the other. Though I truly recommend using both, I used to make this recipe with all apple cider, then one day I tried using a mixture of apple cider and red wine vinegar, and now there’s no going back. Trust me, they taste so much better when you combine them. Also, feel free to add a bit more sugar if you enjoy your pickles on the sweeter side, I try to keep my sugar intake quite low, plus I like them tangy. But you can adjust the recipe to your preferences. **If you feel like trying this recipe, let us know what you think.
