Pickled red onions are one of the easiest ways to add a bright, tangy, slightly sweet flavor to everyday meals. They take only a few minutes to prepare and are delicious on tacos, burgers, sandwiches, salads, grilled meats, avocado toast, and more.
The vinegar softens the sharpness of the raw onion while giving the slices their beautiful pink color.
