When you come to a fork in the road what do you do?? YOU EAT!! Dad told me that joke the first day we were hiking on the Appalachian Trail and we came to a fork in the road. I laughed out loud and to this day I still think of that moment each time I reach a fork in either the literal or figurative roads of life. The joke is also especially in line with today's "recipe" because a fork in the road can seem like a pickle...and today we are pickling red onions. This is almost not even a recipe because it is SOOO easy, but I made some last week and I'm now HIGHLY addicted so I have to share the method with all of you. Here's what you do... Get a nice sized jar (enough to hold two or more cups of liquid). Add your red onion rings (sliced as thinly as you possibly can), 1- 1 1/2 cups of vinegar of your choice (I used apple cider vinegar) and a good amount of salt (I used 2 teaspoon). The key is to make sure the onions are completely submerged in the vinegar. If you're more sensitive to the vinegar flavor, you can add equal amounts sweetener to salt (use a liquid sweetener if possible). You can also add black peppercorns or crushed garlic to boost the flavor of the onions even more, but these are optional additions. Leave the jar (with the lid on) in the fridge overnight and the next day you can enjoy the onions however you wish! I love them on salads and avocado toast but the possibilities are endless! I can't wait for you to have a jar of these in your fridge - they are to die for!
