Ingredients
  • 2 medium red onions, sliced into rings*
  • 2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp dried Mexican Oregano (you can sub regular oregano if you don’t have this on hand)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
Directions
  1. Mix all the ingredients together at least 30 minutes before you want to serve. The longer it marinates, the better it is. If you’re in a pinch, just throw this together while you’re preparing the rest of your meal.
  2. Refrigerate any leftovers you may have. Like WOW this on your eggs the next morning...sigh. You’ll see, trust me on this one.
Notes
*Pro tip: use the slicing attachment on your food processor instead of slicing the onions by hand, so all you have to do is take the outer skins off the onions and throw them in the machine. You’ll minimize potential for total tear duct monsoon this way. Though I can’t guarantee it won’t still happen.
