Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large red onions
- 4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Peel the red onions and slice them thinly into rings or half-moons.
Place the sliced onions in a medium bowl and sprinkle a pinch of salt over them. Let the onions sit for 5 minutes to soften slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, olive oil, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the onions and toss to coat evenly.
Finely chop the parsley and thyme, and sprinkle them over the onions. Toss gently to combine.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the onions for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, to let the flavors meld.
Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve chilled or at room temperature as an appetizer, side dish, or part of a charcuterie board.
