pickled red onions

i had a salad today that had pickled red onions on it, and i fell in love instantly.

i was googling recipes as i sat there.
i'm sure that i've had them before, but i've never noticed their intense flavor.

i found a recipe that looked pretty good, so i came home and made them,

and i do believe that they taste just like what i had at lunch.

i wish i could explain just how flavorful they are.

the recipe i used is here.

the recipe calls for a large onion, and the one i bought was right at one pound.

i didn't think it would be big enough at first, but it filled up this 32 oz pickle jar.

the onions will eventually turn all pink as they sit in this liquid.

i think they would also be good with burgers and hot dogs and sandwiches,
on street tacos,

and as a small side/topping to steak and pork and bbq,

or whatever else you can come up with.

i have a lot more {really good stuff} to write about,

but summer is in high gear, and it's not slowing down.

be back soon.

enjoy.

love,

nicolle
