2 red onions, finely chopped
4 spring (green) onions with tops, chopped
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
4 lettuce leaves
Directions
In a small bowl, combine the onions, vinegar, oil and sugar. Stir to mix evenly. Cover and refrigerate until well chilled, about 60 minutes.
Just before serving, stir in the cilantro and sprinkle with lime juice. Serve mounded on a leaf of lettuce.
