Instructions
- Quick pickle the onion by adding thinly sliced red onion to a bowl with 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and 2 tsp salt. Mix and set aside.

Notes
- This salad is delicious as a side served with your favourite baked or barbecued protein!
- If goat cheese isn't your favourite, try crumbled feta cheese instead.
- This salad is best enjoyed the day it's made.
- If you can't find broccolini, try using regular broccoli.
