Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large white onions
- 500 ml cold water
- 60 ml distilled white vinegar
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp sugar
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Peel the white onions and slice them into very thin rounds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
Place the sliced onions in a large bowl and cover them with cold water. Add 2 tablespoons of the distilled white vinegar and mix gently. Let the onions soak for 5–7 minutes to reduce their sharpness.
While the onions soak, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining white vinegar, salt, sugar, and olive oil until well combined.
Drain the onions thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a serving bowl, combine the onions with the dressing, tossing everything evenly to coat.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley and ground black pepper over the onion salad, mixing gently to incorporate.
Let the salad sit for 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Serve as a side dish to accompany grilled meats, rice, or your favorite main course.
