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.

Time P1DT5m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 8

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.
