I have enjoyed both your turmeric pickled onions and the red onion pickle. You can add them to anything to bump up flavor. I top off a salad, chop them up for a chickpea tuna sandwich, or add them to a slice of pizza. They are now a standard condiment in our refrigerator. Thank you Vegan Nephew!Reply
