Sweet Onion Salad

Best Ever Sweet Onion Salad

Sweet Onion Salad

Serves 4-6 people
Preparation and marinating time 30 minutes plus 6-12 hours for marinating.

This recipe I got from my sister Rose, she is such a great cook.

The Sweet Onion Salad goes so good with turkey burgers, hamburgers, hot dogs, beef on a bun, with pot roast, bratwurst and more.

It takes a bit of planning but it is easy to do.

Ingredients:

• 4-5 sweet onions, halved then sliced
• 250 ml or 1 cup of Canadian made Hellman's mayonnaise
• 60 ml or ¼ cup of sour cream. You can substitute with crème fraîche if you wish
• 125 ml of ½ cup of fresh chopped parsley
• 60 ml or ¼ cup of fresh chopped chives (optional)
• 1 tsp of celery seeds (this is optional, but I love it. It was a great suggestion from my friend Tim)

Ingredients for marinade:

• 125 ml or ½ cup of sugar
• 125 ml or ½ cup of cold water
• 125 ml or ½ cup white vinegar

In a glass or ceramic bowl, mix all the ingredients for the marinade. Make sure the sugar is dissolved. 

Add the sliced onions and give it a good stir. Cover and set in the fridge. Let sit overnight if you can or at least 6 hours.

Once the onions have marinated, remove from marinade and drain well, using a colander.

Mix the mayonnaise and sour cream, then add the parsley. 

Fold in the onions, and you are ready to call in the clan.

Enjoy
