Onion and Parsley Salad


Recipe by

I've found a number of variations of this recipe served as a garnish for boiled seafood and other meats. While I use garlic here, some recipes leave it out, and others have called for cinnamon or cloves.


Ingredients

1 medium onion
1 bunch parsley
2 cloves garlic (add more or less to taste)
red wine vinegar


Method

Chop the onion and parsley well and mix. Mince and add garlic. Add enough vinegar to moisten everything. Mix and allow time for flavors to mingle.
