Tips:

  • Be sure to thinly slice the onions so that they will absorb the dressing well.
  • Soak the onions in ice water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help to remove some of the sharpness of the onions and make them more mild.
  • Use a good quality olive oil in the dressing. This will help to give the dressing a rich, flavorful taste.
  • Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the dressing for a bit of sweetness and acidity.
  • Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the dressing over a salad or with grilled meats or fish.
