EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Quick-pickling an onion tames its heat and gives it a beautiful pink color. A pickled onion's flavors go well with grilled salmon, lamb or pork chops.

You can cook the beans up to two days ahead, but for the brightest color, don't toss with the dressing until just before serving.

Everyone loved the onions and just wanted to eat them, so they totally make the dish. I let the onions sit about 20-30 minutes in the pickling mixture.
