Pickled Green Onions Uses

  • Tacos: This is my favorite way to use green onions! They’re espeically good on fish tacos, shrimp tacos, pork tacos and any asian taco infusion recipe.
  • Potato Salad: Just try it! You’ll be obsessed.
  • Baked Potatoes: Cut through the richness by dicing up a pickled green onion and adding it on top of your buttered, cheesy baked potato.
  • On Burgers and Hot Dogs: Just add them in whole! When used this way it also adds a really satisfying crunch.
  • Soups: My favorite being any type of potato soup.
