Pickled Red Onion

Ingredients

1 red onion, halved and sliced thin

1 cup distilled white vinegar

⅓ cup sugar

1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Place onion in medium bowl. Bring vinegar, sugar, and salt to simmer in small saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Pour vinegar mixture over onion, pressing onion below surface of liquid. Let onion cool completely, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. (Pickled onion can be refrigerated for up to 1 week.)

Notes

Use a baseball-size onion for this recipe. Cider vinegar or red wine vinegar can be substituted for the distilled white vinegar.
