Chef's Notes
Do not rush the resting period. That brief chill in the refrigerator transforms simple produce into an absolute masterpiece of liquid summer gold.
Pro Tip
If your onions are exceptionally pungent, give the sliced ribbons a quick 5-minute ice water bath before adding them to tame their fiery disposition.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
You drown the vegetables in a tidal wave of straight vinegar without balancing it with the brown sugar and salt, instantly transforming a refreshing salad into a sour science experiment that makes your guests weep for mercy.
