Brazil Nut Free Quick Apple Cider Pickled Onions
Tangy, jewel-pink, and ready to brighten up just about anything on your plate, these quick pickled onions are one of those condiments you'll want to keep stocked in the fridge at all times. The brine comes together in minutes on the stovetop — apple cider vinegar, honey, sea salt, fresh ginger, and a pinch of turmeric — and the result is something that tastes far more complex than the effort involved. That golden turmeric does double duty, adding a subtle earthiness while deepening the gorgeous color the red onion naturally develops as it soaks. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, so there's no need to squint at a label or worry about what else was processed in the same facility. Pile them onto tacos, grain bowls, sandwiches, or a cheese board and watch them disappear. They're ready to eat after just 30 minutes in the fridge, but if you can hold out until the next day, the flavor mellows into something truly addictive.
