Lime Marinated Red Onion- Upgrade your Tacos

This recipe for lime marinated red onions is something I have been meaning to put on the blog for you for a long time! Use this “relish” on tacos, salads, over meat, even in eggs! I whip this up a jar at a time and keep it in the fridge for a week! 

Learn how to make marinated red onions with lime juice. Just 3 ingredients for the perfect taco topping!

This recipe makes a lot- I love to use it for taco night, on top of salads and topping my Paleo taco soup! These marinated onions are also delicious in wraps!! The trick to it is so slice up your onions very thin.

Yield: 1 cup

This will become your favorite new topping for just about everything! 

Prep Time 5 minutes
Additional Time 1 hour
Total Time 1 hour 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup diced red onion- slightly less than half a large red onion
  • 1/2 Tbs salt
  • Juice of 1 lime - 1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. Chop your red onion. I slice it very thin and then chop into pieces. The smaller the pieces the better.
  2. In a medium sized bowl add the onions salt and lime juice. Stir to combine.
  3. Let sit for about and hour on the counter or longer covered in the fridge.
  4. Use within a few days. I store mine in smaller glass containers like these to keep things fresh!

      Hey Anita! I have never tried that, as I am a little spice phobic myself, but I will have to give it a try. My husband loved jalapenos and I have some in the fridge!
      Thanks so much for stopping by to comment, you have no idea how encouraging it is to me!

      Cheers! -Heather
