This condiment is simple, but do not underestimate its tangy deliciousness.

These Quick Pickled Onions are the absolutely PERFECT topping on your burger or topped onto our hamburger helper recipe. They don’t taste anything like normal chopped onions.

My eyes were opened to such an easy topping by a 10 year old who was building an epic burger on a cooking show. Thank you to the little chef (so freaking adorable) who opened my eyes to these quick pickled onions that are now a necessity on every burger I ever eat for the rest of my life!

When I went vegetarian three years ago (in an attempt to take my health back), burgers were the one thing I missed. It’s not the meat necessarily that I love so much; it’s the tangy mustard, toppings, ketchup, and (of course) the side of fries!

This recipe takes the epitome of easy and kicks it into the next world of so extremely easy you just have to try it.

Once you do, I guarantee you’ll be hooked.  These are tangy, sweet, and overall heaven.

How to Make Quick Pickled Onions

  1. Take yourself an ordinary small white onion. (You can use red onion if that’s what you have on hand.)
  2. Chop the onion into the size you want for your juicy burger, tacos, steak or really anything that needs a little extra kick.
  3. Whatever size you chop these onions, make sure they fit into the jar you have on hand. The jar must be glass with a seal-able lid. I personally prefer mason jars because I have so many of them that I use for different things. There is now a designated Quick Pickled Onions mason jar.
  4. Pour raw apple cider vinegar into the jar to just cover the onions. Cover with a lid and let sit in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes before serving. Use within the week.
  5. Quick Pickled Onions have been born!

Different Versions of Quick Pickling

  • Heating the vinegar with spices is one option.
  • I found just letting them sit in the absolute amazing flavor of apple cider vinegar softened the onions just enough, but still retained a crispness that everyone loves on their burger.

Plus, why make more work?

The flavor is definitely more pickled then straight onions, minus the onion ‘bite’.

Thank you to the little 10 year old chefs who impress me with their dishes and introduce me to new must have goodies like these Quick Pickled Onions. They are sure to be on my grilled burgers this season.

    Onions and vinegar add up to over 100 calories? That doesn’t make sense. Please re-evaluate your nutritional data on this recipe! All of it seems skewed.

      1 cup alone of apple cider vinegar is 55 calories. This recipe calls for up to 2 cups. So yes that is the calculations for this recipe. As always we provide the nutritional information as a courtesy and try to be as accurate as possible but we do advise that you calculate yourself just as the type, size and variety of ingredient nutritional data does vary. Cheers! 🙂
