Lime Pickled Onions
Make Lime Pickled Onions in just 2 steps and keep in the refrigerator to enjoy throughout the week!Zesty, bright and crisp, these onions are the perfect topping for tacos, fried fish, bowls, steak, salads and more!
Ingredients
- 1 medium red onion
- 2-3 limes (juiced, you should get 1/4 cup or 60 ml lime juice from the limes)
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Slice the onions about 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick. You can also cut them thinner for no crisp or thicker up to 1/4-inch (6 mm) thick but they’ll take a bit longer to pickle!
- Prepare the onions. Add the sliced onions to a jar or bowl, pour in the fresh lime juice, salt and mix. I recommend using a small jar or bowl because you want all the onions to be covered with lime juice.
- Chill in the refrigerator tightly covered for at least 30 minutes (mixing once) or overnight. Lime pickled onions can last for up to a week in the refrigerator.
Notes
Variations: Jalapeño (add 1/2 to 1 jalapeño, thinly sliced), oregano (add 1/2 teaspoon oregano), cilantro (add 1/2 tablespoon fresh cilantro, finely minced), garlic (add 1 small clove garlic, thinly sliced or crushed, or a dash of garlic powder for a lighter flavor), tajin: (add 3/4 teaspoon tajin), allspice (add 1-3 allspice berries), spicy sweet (add 1-3 allspice berries, 1/2 habanero, 1/2 teaspoon white granulated sugar).
