Pickled Red Onions

First off I love the idea of pickled anything. I have tried other recipies and this is the best. This is now a staple in our house. Salad's, greek salads, on sandwhiches, in quesadillas, panini's...the list goes on. We always have a jar of this in the refrigerator. I think a key to this simple recipe is the red wine vinegar. For some reason it is difficult to get a good red wine vinegar. Still trying some out. But I did use the sparrow lane cabernet vinegar and it was amazing, but felt this was a waste of such an amazing vinegar. Looking for less expensive vinegar....have a french one marinating in the regrigerator right now!

I just started picking my own cucumbers, so I was excited to try a recipe that pickled something I really have not used in recipes before. The recipe is very simple and only requires a few ingredients.
I cut the recipe in half and I should have weighed the onion because halving the pickling liquid did not make enough. It was easy enough to create another ¼ of the pickling liquid.

These went great on top of the Lobster Rolls and since the recipe made a ton, I have been finding other uses for them. They go great on top of salads and pretty much any cold sandwich. They are also very good just plain as a snack.
