Ingredients
- 2 red onions
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup lemon juice about 3 lemons
Instructions
- Slice 2 red onions very thin. Here's a refresher on How to Cut an Onion. Add them to a medium bowl.
- Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of salt on the onions. Add freshly cracked black pepper. to taste. (I like to add a lot! At least 1/2 teaspoon)
- Squeeze the juice from 3 lemons (or limes!) over the onions.
- Stir and let sit for at least 5 minutes. I prefer to let my onions pickle for at least 30 minutes. They are even better (and pinker) after 2-3 hours. Be sure to stir them occasionally so all the pickle love can be distributed!
- Add to Turkey Burgers, Tacos, Gyros, Veggie Sandwiches, Pozole Soup, Quesadillas, Burrito Bowls, literally any salad, whatever you want!
- Store leftovers in the lemon and salt brine in a tightly sealed container, like a glass jar or tupperware with a lid, for up to 2 weeks.
