Ingredients
  

  • 1 red onion
  • 1/2 tbsp salt (you can use less salt if watching sodium)

  • 1 cup boiling water

Instructions
 

  • Slice onion into thin slices. Place into a large (20 oz+) jar.
  • Add salt, vinegar, and boiling water to the jar.
  • Place the lid tightly on the jar and shake to combine.
  • Remove the lid to allow the heat to escape and let sit at room temperature for about 25 minutes or until mostly cooled. The onions should turn bright pink and will be ready to eat at this point. Store in the refrigerator.
