Our town has a restaurant that serves pickled red onions with many of their traditional Mexican dishes. They are scrumptious, and it’s not uncommon for my son and I to gobble them up before eating anything else! These Sweet Pickled Red Onions are as close as I have been able to get to those restaurant onions. They make a versatile condiment that adds a tangy-sweet crunch to a variety of home-cooked meals.
With just a few simple ingredients, you can quickly prepare a batch to have ready in your fridge to add to pretty much anything you want. You can’t go wrong when adding these onions to salads, sandwiches, grilled meats, and even as a topping on tortilla soup.
