Marinated Red Onions

5 from 1 vote

Red onions, marinated in a zesty olive oil blend, perfect for topping salads, grilled meats, sandwiches and more! These are best if used within 2 days. The olive oil solidifies if refrigerated, so it's best to leave these on the counter and use them quickly. Don't throw out the marinade! Use it as a salad dressing.
