Ingredients:
1 medium red onion (thinly sliced)
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon honey (or stevia for a sugar-free option)
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
½ teaspoon ginger powder
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Prepare the Red Onion: Begin by slicing the red onion thinly. This helps release its natural juices, which have potent benefits for blood sugar regulation.
Mix the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together apple cider vinegar, honey (or stevia), cinnamon, ginger powder, and lemon juice. Stir until well combined.
Toss and Marinate: Place the sliced onions in a bowl and pour the dressing mixture over them. Toss to coat all the slices evenly. Let it marinate for about 10–15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the onions to soften slightly.
Finish with Olive Oil: Drizzle the olive oil over the marinated onions and gently toss again. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for added freshness and a pop of color.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Serve the marinated red onions as a side dish, topping for salads, or even a sandwich or wrap filler. It pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, or even a light cheese platter.
Storage: Store any leftover marinated onions in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to 3–4 days, though the flavor may intensify as they sit.
