Christina's Notes

  • Spicy Pickled Onions: Make this recipe spicy by adding 1-2 tablespoons of crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Sweet Pickled Onions: To make a sweet pickled onions recipe, add 1-2 extra tablespoons of sugar depending on how sweet you would like them to be.
  • Add to Tacos: Pickled pink onions are one of the best tacos condiments. Try adding these to Fish Baja Tacos, Steak Street Tacos, or Carnitas Pulled Pork Tacos.
  • Variations: If you want to play around with the flavor, you can try adding other herbs and seasoning such as a bay leaf, coriander seeds, cumin, or oregano.
