Tips/Notes

If you still need to make the pickled onions, thinly slice 1 red onion and put it in a jar. Add a pinch of salt and then cover the onion with red wine vinegar. Leave the onion to pickle, flipping the jar over every 10 minutes or so. Store in the fridge.

Make this salad in bulk so you have a few lunches prepared.
