Equipment

  • 1 tall canning jar or 4 cup glass pyrex with lid

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup thinly sliced yellow or purple onions (about ½ a large onion)
  • ½ cup distilled white vinegar
  • 6 tablespoon water
  • 2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill

Instructions
 

  • Thinly slice onions and add to a mason jar or glass dish with lid. Add all remaining ingredients and stir or shake jar. Marinate in the fridge overnight (6-8 hours or longer). The less time you do the crunchier and spicier the onions will be. Longer time will yield tender and less spicy onions.
