Instructions

  1. Slice 1/2 of a red onion into thin strips using a sharp knife.

  3. Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the sliced onions in a heat-safe bowl. Let sit at room temperature.
  4. Finely chop 3 tbsp fresh cilantro and mince 1 clove of garlic.
  5. In a large bowl, mix 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup light sour cream, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, 1-2 limes' juice, 2 tbsp water, and 1/4 tsp salt until well combined. Set aside 1/4 cup of this sauce for topping.
