Instructions
Place sliced onions in a bowl of ice water for 10 minutes to take out some of the onion's "bite," then drain and proceed as follows. If you prefer a strong onion flavor, skip this step!
Combine all ingredients in a bowl.
Serve immediately, or allow onions to marinate in lime juice and salt for a few minutes.
Leftover Salsa Criolla can be stored in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for 3 days. Onions will become increasingly softer and more pickled.
