Easy Pickled Red Onions

Fast and easy to make red onion pickles instantly transform any dish! With just a few ingredients you can made a fresh topping that will add a zesty punch to anything you serve.

The original recipe for these pickled onions is from Bobby Flays cookbook, Burgers, Fries and Shakes and I just add my own special twist on the ingredients.  I also changed them up a bit by making them about a day before I serve them so I can give them time to marinate which brings out all their delicious flavors. These onions are great piled onto a pulled pork sandwich, hot dog and are outstanding with beef brisket. I love to add them to a cheese plate for an unexpected punch when entertaining. Recipes like this one are so unexpectedly easy. The only hard thing is trying to decide how many different ways you can enjoy them!
