1 red onion, peeled and cut into several chunks (see photos above)

Roughly 1/3 cup white vinegar

Roughly 2/3 cup water

1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon sugar

Steps

Thinly slice your chunks of onion into C-shapes using a mandoline on the thinnest setting. (This is what I prefer – if you want the onions more chunky, adjust as needed.)

Place the onions in a jar and add vinegar – I just eyeball it until the jar is about one third of the way full.

Fill the rest of the jar with water. Add salt and sugar; shake a few times to combine.

Let them rest in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour – then they’re ready to use! They can stay in the fridge up to 5-7 days.
