You need to pickle the onions in advance. Why not doube the quantity of pickled onions and make a bigger batch? You can store them in the fridge for a few weeks in a sterilised jar (this is very simple and you can find details on how to do this online). Pickled onions go nicely with any salad. We use red onions because they are sweeter than yellow one and also bring a nice colour to any dish.
