Paleo Friendly Pickled Red Onions

These Paleo Friendly Pickled Red Onions are delicious on so many things like salads, tacos, burgers and sandwiches. They’re also super easy to make!

This is more of a cooking method than a recipe. Basically, to pickle onions you need some combination of vinegar, sugar and salt. This combination is my personal favorite, and it is made with all Paleo-friendly ingredients.

You could also use red wine or white wine vinegar, or even throw some herbs and/or spices into the mix.

Here is a shot of the onions as they are sitting in the brine (don't forget to stir).  If you want your onions to be more al dente and less briny, you could soak them for a shorter time; but I would suggest letting them hang out for at least 30 minutes.

These pickled onions are fantastic on my Grilled Caesar Salad!

  1. Hi, I accidently purchased filtered apple cider vinegar. How much will this affect the recipe? Thanks.
