1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or lemon juice
05 -
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
06 -
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Serve as a simple side salad or enjoy as a condiment. Add onions to burgers, sandwiches, wraps, salads, etc.
# Notes:
01 -
The onions will continue to soften over time. Drain excess liquid before serving if needed.
02 -
Red wine vinegar enhances the bright pink/purple color of red onions, but lemon juice can be used as an alternative.
03 -
Substitute parsley with mint or cilantro for variation.
04 -
Using white or yellow onions instead of red will result in a less spicy/sweet flavor. Consider adding a pinch of sugar if substituting.
