For a milder flavor, soak the sliced onions in ice water for 30 minutes before pickling. Experiment with different spices such as mustard seeds, coriander seeds, or cloves to customize the flavor profile. The leftover pickling liquid can be used as a base for vinaigrettes or marinades. These pickled onions are excellent on tacos, burgers, salads, and cheese boards.
