Quick Pickled Red Onions

Anyone else crave pickled things? Especially those tangy pickled red onions on top of fish tacos?

Pickled red onions are my favorite on top of salad bowls, tacos, taco salad, in wraps, burgers and on pizza. They are SUPER easy to make on your own, only take 5 minutes to prep, are ready to eat in 30 minutes and will last in the fridge for 3-4 weeks. Here’s what to do.
