Pickled Onions

1. 1

   Using a VERY sharp knife slice the onions as thin as you are able.

2. 2

   Place the sliced onions into a bowl and set aside.

3. 3

   Use only FRESH lemon juice. Usually 2 medium lemons will have plenty of juice. Squeeze the lemons until you have 1/4 cup juice. Discard the seeds and pour juice into a small bowl. Add the vinegar to the lemon juice.

4. 4

   Sprinkle the onions with salt and red pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Pour the lemon/vinegar mixture over the onions and gently toss with your fingers until all the onions are wet and the salt and red pepper is evenly distributed.

6. 6

   Cover the bowl and allow to sit at room temperature for about 45 minutes. The onion will turn bright pink and decrease in volume.

7. 7

   Taste an onion slice. When it's zingy and crunchy and yummy serve with your favorite dish.
