Pickled onions are my absolute favorite condiment, something I always keep in the fridge.
Maybe it’s the tangy, sweet taste, maybe it’s the crunchy texture, or maybe it’s that beautiful pink color, but these pickled onions are a kitchen staple.
Adding pickled red onions to even the simplest dish just adds something special, and guess what else? There is no sugar added. Yup, sugar-free pickled onions do exist, and they are awesome!
Sugar-Free Pickled Red Onions
Ingredients
- 2 small red onions or 1 large
- 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar preferably raw unfiltered
- 2 tbsp lemon juice freshly squeezed, approx 1/2 lemon
- 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp peppercorns
- 1 clove garlic optional
Instructions
-
Add all ingredients but the onions to a mason jar and stir well.
-
Peel and slice the red onion (I prefer to slice thinly, but feel free to do this to your preference).
-
Add the onions to the mason jar, pressing down into the apple cider mixture until they’re submerged. If you need to, top off with a little extra apple cider vinegar until all the onions are covered.
-
Mix well or cover and shake, then set it in the fridge overnight.
