Lift Marinated Onions from liquid with a fork and transfer to the top of each salad. Drizzle with dressing before serving.

 

Marinated Onions: Peel and thinly slice 1 medium red onion. Combine 1/4 cup rice vinegar, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/4 cup water in jar with tight lid; shake until well blended. Add onions to the jar. Shake jar to coat onions in liquid, then refrigerate overnight or for at least 6 hours. If necessary, shake the jar 2-3 times during the 6 hours to be sure the onions marinade evenly.
