MARINATED RED ONIONS AND DRESSING

Marinated Red Onions and Dressing image

The onions themselves are awesome in salads, on pizzas, in pasta salads, or on sandwiches. The "leftover" marinade makes the perfect base for a salad dressing. The tangy sweet combination is addictive.

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

1 red onion
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon thyme
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon mustard
salt
pepper

Steps:

For the onions: slice thinly and separate the rings.
Place in a small bowl or plastic container with a lid.
Pour the honey and vinegar on top and add the thyme. Shake.
Place in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, shaking when you think about it. (To speed this process up, place in the microwave for 2 minutes. Onions will be ready in about 30 minutes but not as rich).
To serve, add to salads or sandwiches.
Take the last of your onions and the marinade and place into the blender.
Add olive oil and mustard. Blend until smooth. Taste. Add salt and pepper as you see fit.
You may feel the need to add a bit more honey (or just use honey mustard). Now you have sweet onion dressing.

MARINATED RED ONIONS

Giovanna's restaurant in Plainfield, New Jersey serves these tangy marinated red onions as a complimentary accompaniment to their house salad, but I think they'd also be great with barbequed brisket or chicken or alongside fajitas. From the R.S.V.P. section of a November 1986 issue of Bon Appetit.
