Ingredients

Instructions

  • Peel and slice the onion in half. Using a knife or a mandoline slicer, thinly slice each half into thin C-shaped slices. (I love using a mandoline slicer for thin, uniform slices.)
    2 medium red onions
  • Transfer the sliced onions to a jar or container. Add the red wine vinegar, salt, pepper and cumin to the onion. (The onions won’t be fully covered in vinegar, and that’s totally okay.)
    1/4 cup red wine vinegar, ¼ tsp salt, ½ tsp cumin, ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • Close the lid and shake until onions are evenly coated in the vinegar and seasonings.
  • Let the onions pickle in the fridge for at least an hour before using. (The onions will keep in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.)
