Pickled red onions. This might not actually sound like a kitchen secret at all, but it’s my secret. Well, I guess that’s a lie because now it’s not so much a secret anymore. Oh, well. I love you all enough to share it. Actually, that’s the point. I’m hoping to spread the word about my kitchen favorites one blog post at a time – that way when I visit for dinner you’ll have some easy pickled red onions ready to go! Keyword: Easy. These actually are so easy, y’all.
I’ve tested out a few different methods for making pickled red onions, but this is the best one I’ve found. In reality, I typically want tacos at least once a week (I had to be honest) and I almost never have tacos without pickled red onions. It’s how I trick myself into thinking I’m actually enjoying those way-too-delicious tacos at Loco. Real talk – if you’re ever in Boston, you must visit Loco Taqueria. The tacos are out of this world and the margaritas are…well….phenomenal. Get the Coco! You’ll love it (as long as you like coconut as much as I do!).

I bought some apple cider vinegar today! I drink it with water & lemon when I’m feeling sick. I’ll definitely try out this recipe. Thanks, love!
Oh that’s an interesting mix! I should try that next time – is it for when you have a cold? And definitely give the pickled onions a try! They’re so yummy 🙂

Yes! It’s good for a cold & sore throat. It’s also good for acne & clearing up skin! So many health benefits.
I’ve actually been wanting to try this for a while, but with eggs.
