Quick Pickled Red Onion

Quick pickled onions are so fast and simple to make. Obviously I didn’t come up with this concept, but I make them enough, and have used them as a topping for quite a handful of other recipes I felt it was time they got their own post on my blog. Plus, now when people ask me how they make them I can point them to my blog!

As someone who abhors raw red onion, I was quick surprised at how much I like pickled red onion. I’ve used these to top homemade bibimbap bowls, Korean Barbecue Burgers, pulled pork sandwiches, and most recently on some bison carnitas (recipe coming next!). My 2 year old even likes to eat them as a snack!
