This quick and easy 3-ingredient condiment adds bright flavor and a gorgeous pink anywhere you use red onions; from tasty tacos to garden-fresh salads the versatility is endless!
- Sliced red onion - Kosher salt - Apple cider vinegar - Fresh lime juice
Place the sliced red onion in a colander and set the colander in a bowl. Pour two cups of boiling water atop the sliced onions and gently press with a spoon.
Be sure to submerge all of the onion slices in the water. Let them soak for 45 seconds and drain.
Transfer the onion slices to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Then, pour the fresh lime juice and apple cider vinegar over the onions, and add the salt.
Using a fork, make sure all onions are submerged in the liquid. This is also a perfect time to include your optional add-ins (you can get the list of possible additions in the recipe post).
Close the lid over the jar and give it a good shake. Place jar in the fridge and let it sit for a minimum of two hours. Serve as a condiment or garnish!
