Prepare: @small to medium red onion{1}, @lime juice from medium limes{3%cup}, @kosher salt{0.5%tsp}, @organic cane sugar{0.5%tsp}.

Slice the onion in half from top to root. Then slice from pole to pole, as thinly as possible (video instructions here). Or use a mandoline, which is quickest.

Add the sliced onions to a shallow bowl. Squeeze on the lime juice and sprinkle the salt and sugar on top. Massage with your hands briefly. Set aside to macerate for ~{10-15%minutes}, stirring once or twice.

Transfer to a jar for which you have a lid (or an airtight container). Seal and label the jar, and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
