Paleo Pickled Jalapeno Peppers & Red Onion

These quick-pickled jalapeno peppers and onions are delicious on top of your favorite Mexican or Tex-Mex dishes.

They can also be enjoyed on their own, or in wraps, salads, or anywhere you want a little extra spice.

For a nice twist, try the pickling liquid in place of plain vinegar in homemade vinaigrettes and marinades.
