Notes

Why do you soak your red onions?

I love the taste and flavor of red onions in my food. When I bite into a raw red onion, sometimes the taste is overpowering and the aftertaste is not pleasant. I soak my diced/cut red onions in water for 5-10 minutes if I am going to use them raw in a recipe. This helps to take the bite out of the flavor! Drain water from the onions after your 5-10 minutes has passed.
