Step 1
Peel and thinly slice the 2 large red onions into half-moons. Place them in a large bowl and sprinkle with 0.5 tsp salt, tossing to coat.
Step 2
Let the onions sit for 10 minutes to soften and release some sharpness. Meanwhile, finely chop the 1 cup fresh parsley leaves and stems.
Step 3
After resting, squeeze the onions gently to remove excess liquid. Discard the liquid and return onions to the bowl.
Step 4
Add the chopped parsley, 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, and 1 tbsp lemon juice to the onions.
Step 5
Season with 0.25 tsp black pepper and toss everything together until well combined.
Step 6
Let the salad marinate for at least 15 minutes at room temperature to allow flavors to meld. Taste and adjust salt or lemon if needed.
Step 7
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish.
