Delicious Marinated Onion Rings for Salad!

Ingredients

• 3 onions, peeled and cut into thin rings
• water
• vinaigrette dressing (but you can use bottled)
• 1/4 cup water
• 3/4 cup cider vinegar (or wine or balsamic)
• 2 teaspoons table prepared mustard
• 2 teaspoons worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons superfine sugar (caster sugar)
• 1 cup olive oil

Directions

1. 1

   Separate the onion rings, and drop them into a large pot of cold water.

2. 2

   Bring to the boil, and then simmer the rings until they are limp -- about 7 - 10 minutes. This will depend on how you think you prefer them. They are best when fully cooked.

3. 3

   Drain the rings well in a colander or sieve.

4. 4

   For the dressing, whisk everything well, until dissolved, except the olive oil.

5. 5

   Then whisk in olive oil.

6. 6

   Put onion rings either in a glass bowl, or in a clean glass canning jar.

7. 7

   Cover with vinaigrette dressing, cover the bowl or put lid on the bottle, and marinate the onion rings for 24 - 48 hours. (Make vinaigrette with balsamic vinegar if you'd like brownish onion rings).

8. 8

   To use, lift out as much as you want, and let the marinade drain off.

9. 9

   Serve on top of a mixed salad, or as suggested in intro.
