Ingredients

• 2 large Red onions
• 1 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 1 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 leaf Bay leaf

Directions

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the red onions into rings using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer for uniformity.

Step 2

In a medium-sized jar or glass container, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, and salt, stirring until the salt is fully dissolved.

Step 3

Add the black peppercorns, mustard seeds, and bay leaf to the liquid mixture.

Step 4

Peel the garlic cloves and add them whole to the jar, allowing their flavor to seep through the marinade.

Step 5

Place the sliced onions into the jar, pressing them down with a spoon so they are fully submerged in the vinegar solution.

Step 6

Seal the jar tightly with a lid and give it a gentle shake to combine the ingredients well.

Step 7

Allow the onions to marinate for at least 1 hour before serving. For best flavor, let them sit in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

Step 8

Store the marinated onions in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. Stir or shake the jar occasionally to ensure even distribution of the marinade.
