lil carb Pickled Red Onions

Watch how to assemble this!

First off I love anything pickled. Like, put a shoe in some vinegar and I'm good to go. JK but seriously pickling is such an easy way to fancy-up a dish or to impress guests or to just make your meal that much tastier.  My pickled red onions can go on so many things too- salads, burgers, eggs! Literally the sky's the limit and the world is yours! Let's do it!

lil carb Pickled Red Onions
1 Mason Jar
1 medium red onion, cut in half and thinly sliced
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 Tbsp white vinegar OR red wine vinegar
1 1/4 cup water
3 tsp Truvia, or your favorite granulated sweetener- just check the carbs
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1/2 tsp dill seeds
1/8 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
2 cloves of garlic, cut in half

In a small sauce pan over medium heat add the water and Truvia. Whisk together just until all the trivia is mixed in. Turn off the heat and set aside.
Then, prep your onion by chopping it in half and thinly slicing it- the thinner the better.
Add the onions to your mason jar along with the garlic cloves.
Then add in the mustard seed, dill seed, and red pepper flake if using.
Pour in the white vinegar, apple cider vinegar, and water/truvia mixture.
Pop the lid on and give the jar a good shake and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving but the longer it sits the better they will get. 24 hours is optimal.
ENJOY!

I love this salad using my pickled red onions! Romain lettuce, pulled chicken, cherry tomatoes, pickled onions, and a drizzle of vinaigrette!
