Marinate red onion rings and serve them with any dish or appetizer—they pair well with almost everything. The perfect balance of salt, sugar, vinegar, and spices makes red onions a great addition to meat, fish, sandwiches, salads, grain side dishes, and stewed vegetables. They not only add flavor to dishes but also make them beautiful to serve, as the marinated red onion acquires a bright, rich color, enhanced by the added beetroot. These onions are ready to eat the next day and will keep in the refrigerator without preserving for up to a month.
