Just do it

Don't think about this happy little accident I discovered. Just make it, eat it, savor it, and make it again and again and again.

You will need:

Juice from one lime
Half of one small red onion, thinly sliced
Radishes, sliced
Feta cheese

1. Toss the red onion in the lime juice and allow to sit for 3 hours to one day until "pickled".

2. Toss together desired amounts of the onions and remaining ingredients and serve. Toss with a tiny bit of balsamic vinaigrette if desired.

I have been so in love with quick-pickled veggies this summer, especially red onion. And steeping them in lime juice is a quick easy way to do that while avoiding all the sugar from more conventional forms of pickling. This little salad would be a perfect side to pulled pork, grilled chicken salads, or just in mass quantities, as I've been enjoying it over simple greens. It's the perfect mix of salty, tangy, and has that umami sensuality to it.

Devonly,

Yours
