Pickled Red Onions

There’s hardly a salad, sandwich, plate of eggs, cheese and charcuterie board, or platter of meat that wouldn’t be happier joined by a heap of pickled red onions.

Ingredients

• 1 Red Onion

• 1 cup white wine vinegar

• 1 cup sugar

• A pinch of kosher salt

Directions

1. Slice the onion 1/8 inch thick and place in a small heatproof bowl.

2. Combine 1 cup white wine vinegar, 1 cup sugar, and the kosher salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.

3. Boil gently, stirring occasionally, for a minute or two, until the sugar is completely dissolved.

4. Pour over the onions and let steep until cool. Use right away or store refrigerated in the brine in a tightly covered container for up to 2 weeks.
