Ingredients
- 2 Vidalia onions (or other sweet variety)
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp O Citrus Champagne Vinegar
- 2 tsp celery seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt
- lots of fresh cracked black pepper
- dill, parsley, thyme, or chive
Preparation
Step 1
Peel and slice the onions into 1/8 inch slices. This is best done on a mandolin slicer. Cut the slices in half or thirds.
Put the onions into a bowl, carefully separating the strands as you add them.
Whisk together the dressing and be sure to taste to adjust any of the ingredients.
Pour enough dressing over the onions to saturate them, but don't drown them. Toss well and refrigerate for several hours before serving.
I almost added a bit of horseradish, I think that would be nice. Or a bit of grainy Dijon mustard…depends on your mood.
To lighten the dressing try using Greek yogurt in place of the mayo. Don’t worry about the buttermilk, despite its name, it’s super low in fat. If you don’t have buttermilk you can use regular milk, but the flavor won’t be as good.
