Ingredients
- 1 large sweet onion (about 1 pound), thinly sliced
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 tablespoons fresh Key (or Mexican) lime juice (about 2 limes)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Method
- Shave the onion very thinly, following the curvature of the onion and preserving the integrity of the onion's cell wall structure. It matters.
- Throw in the salt. Toss. Toss again. One more time. Good.
- Now, add the lime juice. Tumble the onion a couple of times.
- Let the onion mixture sit for 10 minutes at room temperature.
- Right before serving, add the cilantro. Not a second sooner.
- Serve atop Cocoa-Crusted New York Strip, grilled meats, hearty roasts, or...pretty much anything in the universe. Thank Maria. She'll feel good inside.
