Peruvian Pickled Onions (Salsa Criolla)
1
Rich Girl 319
"A pretty simple recipe, quick and easy to prepare, salsa criolla is the perfect accompaniment to many dishes. The lime juice is what makes this onion salsa/relish special. It adds a bright flavor that sweetens the onions and livens up everything else on the plate. Great summer dish! Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days."

Super tasty! Made as recommended. You can add a sprinkle of Italian Seasoning for a slightly different flavor. Thanks for a great cold salad idea!

As we make it in Peru, skip the cucumbers and tomatoes, use ají amarillo instead of jalapeño; if you can't find ají amarillo, use Cayenne pepper.
