Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Red onions
- 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Peel and slice the red onions into thin rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the apple cider vinegar, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, and honey. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved.
Add the garlic powder, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes to the vinegar mixture and stir to combine.
Place the sliced onions into a shallow, non-reactive dish or jar and pour the marinade over the onions, ensuring that all the slices are well coated.
Cover the dish or seal the jar and marinate the onions in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. For best flavor, allow the onions to marinate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Once marinated, drain the onions from the excess liquid before serving. These onions can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
