  • 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup water

Instructions

  • Slice onions thin and place in a jar with a lid. Set aside.

You will need a jar with a lid to make this recipe.
Once you add your onions to the jar and top with the liquid, make sure you press down on the onions so they are fully submerged in the liquid.
