Marinated Shaved Red Onions

• 1 large red onion
• 3 tablespoons good fruity olive oil
• 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground red pepper, or more to your taste
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or more to your taste
• 1 teaspoon parsley or mixed herbs, chopped

1. Peel your onion and slice in half. On a mandoline, thinly slice the red onion, facing the flat half down onto the mandolin so you get long slices. Place in a tupperware or any bowl that has an airtight lid.
2. Chop your herbs of choice (or leave out if you prefer), and toss into bowl.
3. Add your "dressing ingredients": olive oil, salt, and pepper. Close up with the airtight lid, and shake until well combined.
4. Let marinate at least 15 minutes before serving. I make a bigger batch and leave mine in my fridge for 7 days, to eat all week! It gets better with age!
