Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 tbsp monk fruit or swap for sugar
  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes
  • 2 red onion

Instructions

  • Add water, white vinegar, sugar, and salt to a small saucepan. Heat the mixture until the sugar and salt have completely dissolved.
  • Peel and thinly slice the red onions. Transfer to a large jar, and pour the liquid over them, ensuring they are fully covered. Leave on the counter until cool down, then transfer to the fridge.
  • Store the jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. The onions will be ready to enjoy after 3 hour, but for best results, let them sit overnight.

Notes

Flavor adds-on: add peppercorn or finely sliced jalapenos to the jar, for an extra kick.
