Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 small onion (about 4-5 ounces) such a vidallia or walla walla
- 60ml rice vinegar
- 1/2 cup neutral oil such as grapeseed oil or avocado oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar - use 2 teaspoons for less sweet
- Salt, for seasoning
Instructions
- Prep the onion. Peel and slice the onion into quarters.
- Chop it. Finely chop 1 quarter of the onion and set it aside in a bowl.
- Grate it. Using a grater, grate the remaining 3 quarters, keeping the juice (don’t throw it out as it’s full of flavor!). You can also use a vegetable chopper if it comes with a grater attachment. Pulse until the onion is close to fully grated.
- Make the dressing. In a jar, add the chopped onion, grated onion – including the juice – and the remaining ingredients for the dressing.
- Shake and serve. Close the jar with a lid and shake well to combine. Serve.
Notes
Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. The dressing will separate naturally — shake well before each use.
