Steps:
- 1. Mix the sugar and salt together.
- 2. Slice the onions thin and place them in a glass bowl, add the sugar/salt mixture and toss to coat. Let sit on the counter for 15 minutes tossing occasionally.

- 5. Once you see the red onions start to bleed out some color & start to turn rosy you can leave them in the lime juice " no more than a couple of days " till you are ready to use them.

- 7. These should last for several weeks in the refrigerator.
PERFECT PICKLED ONIONS
Fresh, cold, and crisp pickled onions. So easy to make, you should always have these on hand to jazz up sandwiches, salads, charcuterie boards, tacos, and more. The leftover pickling liquid can be used to make dressings or marinades. They add a bright, tangy bite when served alongside rich foods.
