Quick Pickled Onions

This week we have a great side for all the BBQ lovers out there. From Tex 'Que for You, here is a quick & simple pickled onion recipe! Make sure your sharp knife is at the ready for easy slicing and delicious results.

Pickled Red Onions are a great acidic compliment to any bbq dish. I put these on tacos, pulled pork, and even side dishes!
