I saw this recipe in a magazine a few weeks ago and decided to try it for Sunday dinner as a side to halibut. It was delicious, unique, beautiful and nutritious!

1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
2 Tbsp. Pompeian Red Wine Vinegar

Salt and black pepper to taste

Preparation

2. Place in a fine mesh strainer and run under cold water to cool quickly, drain well.
