Directions

In a medium bowl, mix together the vinegar and onions. Let them sit for at least 1 hour.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Chef Tips

For an even milder pickle, use 3 medium shallots.

If vinegar is too acidic for your mouth, simply soak the onions in 1 cup of cold water with 1 teaspoon of vinegar for an hour. Drain and squeeze out all the water before using. Onions prepared this way will not keep. Any leftovers should be thrown out within 3 days.
