Pickled onions are one of my favorite ingredients to add to a recipe! They turn any dish into a work of art. There is just something about the vibrant pink of a pickled onion that brings life to even the dullest looking dish! They are sweet, sour, tangy and crunchy!
For a long time I was afraid to try to make my own pickled onions. I make all kinds of recipes, so you would think I would jump on something as easy as pickled onions! I think it was hard, because there are so many different recipes out there. With something as easy as pickled onions, I find basic is better!

Joseph Joseph Cutting Board
If you have ready through any of my other posts, you will know that I talk about this cutting board ALL THE TIME. I literally use this like 3X a day. I really do need to get another one!! The reason I love it, is because it is slanted so liquid drains away from whatever you are cutting, but is caught by a rubber lip surrounding the board. I promise you will love this!
Celtic Sea Salt
First of all, this salt will be more flavorful and tasty then any other salt you’ve had! Celtic Sea Salt is not just simple sodium chloride. It is full of all the vitamins and minerals that your body needs. If you are a person that avoids salt because of blood pressure issues, do some research on this salt!! Celtic Sea Salt contains less sodium and chloride than regular table salt!
