Ingredients

  • 1 onion
  • 1 lime
  • Chopped cilantro (optional)
  • Chopped boiled potatoes (optional)
  • Chopped boiled or pickled beets (optional)
  • Chopped (not mashed) avocado (optional)

Directions

1

Cleave the onion from top to bottom, along the grain, then slice it fine across the grain, forming half-rings.

2

Rinse in cold water, soak in cold water for around 5 minutes, and rinse again. This procedure washes away the contents of the plant cells destroyed by the knife, taking the sting out of the onion's flavor.

3

Squeeze over it the juice of the lime.

4

Optionally toss in the cilantro, potatoes, beets, or avocado.
