“It’s time to step up to the plate (the table variety) and say farewell to bland. We are all creatures of habit,” says CEO Costas Vayanos.
“And although that helps save time by automating certain processes or decisions, there are times when it can be good to push the limits, particularly when it comes to discovering new food ideas,” says the man known for serving up a variety of creations as part of his quest for the perfect dish.
So, in the spirit of adding that delicious extra something to your meal, Judy’s Preserves brings you 8 ways pickled onions can take your meal from good to great:
• Create a tangy taste sensation by slicing pickled onions as a delicious accompaniment to a mature cheddar sandwich
• Take your tartar sauce up a notch (or two) with a teaspoon of the pickled vinaigrette together and diced pieces of pickled onion
