You should be putting these on everything… really EVERYTHING!  Pickled red onions, boost the flavor of just about every summer meal, from salads to burgers and all foods in between.  We like them on our eggs, we like them on our rice and beans, we like them with chicken, and we like them with greens. Yes, I like them Sam I am!

Having something like pickled onions on hand just steps up our family’s food game a little. We prepare them at the beginning of the week and enjoy all week long. Something just feels a little fancy when you have a homemade condiment to add to casual weeknight meals.
