Pickled Red Onions are simply delicious and great for the holidays. This colorful condiment goes together quickly and adds lots of contemporary flavor to the modern relish tray. Dried pickling spice, available in the spice aisle of your grocery store, adds the distinct flavors of mustard seed, allspice, crushed red pepper and bay leaf to recipe. You can eliminate the pickling spice in the recipe for a versatile pickled red onions topping for sandwiches, salads and grilled burgers.
