Method

  1. Slice the onion as thinly as you can and soak it in the lemon juice for ten minutes to take the raw edge off.

  2. Fold everything together with the oil and a lot of black pepper, and let it sit for five minutes before eating.

Worth knowing

  • Soaking raw onion in acid is the difference between a salad you finish and one you pick around.
