Creamy Onion Salad image

Posted this recipe as a request on the message board. I found the recipe in the "Blueberries and Polar Bears" cookbook. The recipe suggests serving this with "beef or Jalaneo Goose, or on top of a beef sandwich the next day!" I guessed on the serving size, because it wasn't given.

Time 8h

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 Spanish onions (whatever kind you have on hand)
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 cups mayonnaise or 1 1/4 cups similar salad dressing
2 tablespoons celery seeds

Steps:

  • Slice the onions very thin and place them in a plastic or glass dish.
  • Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, and salt.
  • Mix well to dissolve the sugar and salt.
  • Pour over the sliced onions and mix well.
  • Put a plate on top of the onions and set a weight on it.
  • A plastic bottle of oil and vinegar works well.
  • Let the onions sit on the counter all day- overnight is best.
  • Drain the onions (You will wonder where all the liquid came from!).
  • Combine the dressing and celery seed and toss with onions.
  • Put in a serving bowl and serve.
