Simple RecipeĀ :
Ingredients:
- 1 can (14 oz) of sliced onions (or you can use fresh onions and slice them)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 teaspoon sugar or honey for sweetness
- Optional: Chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives) for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Onions:
- If you’re using fresh onions, peel and slice them thinly. If you’re using canned sliced onions, drain them well.
- Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and optional sugar or honey. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
- Combine Ingredients:
- In a larger bowl, combine the sliced onions with the dressing. Toss everything together until the onions are well-coated with the dressing.
- Marinate:
- Let the salad marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This also helps to soften the onions slightly.
- Serve:
- Before serving, give the salad a good toss. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs if desired.
- Optional Additions:
- You can customize this salad by adding other ingredients like sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, or bell peppers for extra freshness and crunch.
- Storage:
- This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. The flavors may intensify over time.
Enjoy your canned onion salad!
