Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large Vidalia onions
- 1 cup White vinegar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and slice the Vidalia onions into thin rings or half-moons, depending on your preference.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the white vinegar, water, granulated sugar, and kosher salt. Whisk until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
Add the black peppercorns and red pepper flakes into the vinegar mixture. Stir to combine.
Gently add the sliced Vidalia onions to the bowl, ensuring they are fully submerged in the liquid mixture.
Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
When ready to serve, drain the onions from the marinade, reserving a bit of the liquid if you prefer a lightly dressed result.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy as a topping or side dish!
