Notes
- I use a mandoline to cut my onions into perfect thin slices. You can slices the onions into rings, or else cut the onion in half lengthwise before you make your slices.
- While this recipe calls for the onions to marinate in a glass jar, any airtight glass or plastic container will also work.
