Ingredients
- 1 lime
- 1 red onion
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp honey or sugar

Notes
Tip: Use a small container with a lid to combine all of the ingredients and then give it a shake every so often until you're ready to eat.
Enjoy your onions on tacos, burritos, eggs, potatoes, sandwiches, salads, and more.
For honey or sugar start with 1 teaspoon for a large onion. You can add more to taste if you like your pickled onions sweeter.
