Easy and tasty. The soak in hot water tamed the onion bite a little, and brought out some of the sweetness, while the lime juice provided a refreshing contrast. I served these with burgers, and definitely plan on making them again. Thanks for posting!

This was really easy to make, so I loved that. These came out very tart (lip-puckering tart!!), but I enjoyed them. I think they'd be great with grilled meats or even to top some spicy grilled hamburgers or sausages. I considered adding 1/2 teaspoon of sugar or honey to sweeten them just a little...I'll definitely make these again and play around with how to use them. Made for ZWT7 Central/South American and the HOT PINK LADIES!
