Caribbean Lime Onion Rings With Spicy Dipping Sauce image

A delicious poolside snack - or a great accompaniment for a barbecue. These tangy onion rings are delicious served with the spicy lime dip. I have also used low-fat mayonnaise, in an attempt to lighten the calories!

1 large sweet onion

1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
