Homemade Pickled Onions

Pickled onions can be a great addition to your main meals or snack platter, condiments or an addition to your burgers or tacos. I love it on top of avocado on toast with feta!

Not only does the vinegar assist in managing insulin and blood sugar control, it is good for our gut health as due to the natural fermentation of the onions, they contain beneficial bacteria, or probiotics, that can help improve gut health. Probiotics aid in digestion and enhance the immune system. Pickling transforms your red onion from strong to tangy and crunchy.

Recipe:

• One red onion (two if you have a large jar)

• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (with “the mother”)

• 1/4 cup white vinegar

• if you aren’t a fan of the vinegar taste, add a dash of honey to your recipe.

• 1/2 cup of filtered water

Thinly slice the red onion into circles then place in a jar. Add water and both of the vinegars

plus a dash of salt. Stir into the jar, add some more water if the onion isn’t full covered in liquid.

Best stored in the fridge and keeps for approximately 3 weeks.
