Pickled Onions
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. Making pickled onion is quick and easy. The onion ends up soft and crisp, and its flavor takes on a new, interesting note. Pickled onion keeps well and can become part of your favorite dishes. It pairs wonderfully with various meat dishes, salads, burgers, and even on its own as a snack. If you want to use regular yellow onion but give it color, add a little turmeric or beet juice to the marinade. Can be served warm or chilled.
