    This is such an easy recipe to throw together for your next-day salad, burger, brat, or just go crazy and eat them solo! They have incredible flavor and skip the worry of canning by making it a small batch to store in the fridge!

    If you're a fan of dill pickles, these quick pickled onions are a must try! They're super easy to make and add great flavor to whatever you choose to put them on. 

    For best results, they should be refrigerated at least overnight, if not 24 hours. If you cut the time short you'll get crunchier onions that still have a bit of spice to them. The longer they marinade the juicier they'll be with great pickled flavor throughout. 

    I love using these onion in my Roasted Beet Salad recipe! My daughter loves eating them alone as a side, and they're great on sandwiches and hot dogs/brats!
