Calories: 8kcal
Ingredients
- 1 red onion
- 1 pinch salt
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder note 1
- ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Slice- Slice onion in half through the root. Place cut side down and chop off the root and tip of bulb, peel skin off. Work slowly with a sharp knife to create the thinnest slices you can across the middle of the onion.
- Jar- to a 2 cup/1 pint jar, add the onion slices, salt, oregano, garlic powder and apple cider vinegar. Do your best to stir it up.
- Pickle- place the jar (ensuring not metal parts present!) into a microwave and cook on high power for one minute (see note 2). Stir, then place in the fridge for 30 minutes before enjoying.

Notes
- swap garlic powder for 3-4 cloves fresh minced garlic if you'd like
- you can skip the microwave step and refrigerate onions overnight instead
- this recipe makes roughly 1 cup of pickled onions
- Fridge - store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks
- Freeze - we have never tried freezing these quick pickled red onions, but they would probably freeze/ thaw just fine. It might work well to portion out and freeze them in ice cube trays, too!
