Directions

Toss all ingredients together. Let sit at room temperature for an hour or so; color of onions should deepen and start to turn bright pink. Transfer to a sealable container and top off with vinegar if necessary to cover onions. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours so the flavors can develop. Keep refrigerated and enjoy within a couple of weeks.
