How to Make Lime Marinated Onion Salad

  1. Thinly slice 2 large red onions.
  2. Place the sliced onions in a non-metal bowl (metal can react with the lime juice).
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the zest and juice of 2 limes, 2 minced cloves of garlic, 1/4 cup olive oil, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Pour the lime mixture over the onions, ensuring they are fully coated. Gently toss to combine.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor development).
  6. Before serving, stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro and 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste.
  7. Serve chilled and enjoy! This salad pairs perfectly with grilled meats, fish, or as a topping for tacos.
