From the Test Kitchen

Pickled red onion is incredibly delicious. Tangy and sweet, with a burst of mellowed piquancy, it completely transforms the ingredients around it. It’s also fast and easy to make. In this bountiful summer salad (served with crispy goat cheese baguette toasts), we’re featuring it two ways by using some of the pickling mixture as the base of a vinaigrette that coats arugula, romaine lettuce, vibrant heirloom tomatoes and summer stone fruit. (Depending on what’s freshest in your area, you may receive different varieties of tomato and stone fruit than those pictured. But don’t worry: just use them as instructed, and enjoy, chefs!)
