Why This Recipe Works
For the best results, we sliced the onion thin so that it absorbed the pickling liquid quickly and evenly. A mix of white wine vinegar and sugar provided the perfect acidic yet sweet balance. A little dried oregano gave the onion some herbaceous complexity. After only 30 minutes of cooling, the pickled onion was ready to serve.
