How to Make Lime Pickled Red Onions

  1. Thinly slice one medium red onion (about 1 cup).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced red onions, 1/2 cup lime juice (about 2 limes), 1/4 cup white vinegar, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Gently stir to ensure all the onion slices are coated with the pickling liquid.
  4. Let the onions marinate for at least 3 hours at room temperature for best flavor development. For a quicker version, refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
