Quick pickled red onions are tangy, crisp tender, delicious and quick to prepare. I use them in place of regular red onions in my Greek salad and piled on chicken shawarma (recipes coming soon). Also top them on tacos and pile them on sandwiches and burgers. They will last for several weeks in the refrigerator. For added flavor, toss in a sprig of rosemary, a few garlic cloves, red pepper flakes or peppercorns.

So delighted to see this recipe! I have been hunting this down in my Grandma’s recipe box and you
saved me a lot of time and I am pretty sure it is the same recipe…just in time for my salad!
Thanks,
