Ingredients

1 - red onion
¾ cup - apple cider vinegar
¼ cup - water
2 teaspoons - honey
½ tsp - sea salt

Instructions

Peel the onion and cut it in half lengthwise. Place cut side down on a cutting board and cut into half moons using a sharp knife. Slice thicker for more crunchy texture, or thinner for a softer texture. Alternatively, use a mandolin slicer to slice the onion into thin restaurant quality onions. Place the onions in a large jar and set aside.
Place the vinegar, water, honey and salt in a small sauce pan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the honey has dissolved and the mixture is warm.
Pour the brine over the the onion slices in the jar and let stand until the water has cooled. Cover tightly with a lid and place in the refrigerator for a minimum of 30 minutes or overnight. The longer the onions sit in the brine, the more bright pink they will become.
Serve over burgers, sandwiches, tacos, salads and more. Enjoy!
