Peel and thinly slice a red onion. Place in a mason jar or a container with a lid. I try to separate as many of the onion pieces as I can.
Sprinkle with salt and pour freshly squeezed lime juice on top. You want enough lime juice to cover the onions almost halfway of the jar. Stir or shake to coat and place in the refrigerator.
After 30 minutes, stir to coat the onions again. They will need at least another 30 minutes. A few hours or overnight will give you the best-tasting results.
Store the pickled red onions in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. The same recipe can be used for white onions as well.Enjoy the onions on tostadas, tacos, or just with some grilled meat and rice.
