Preparation:
Cut the onion in half, slice very finely (a mandolin is very helpful with this part) and place in a bowl

Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon salt and a squeeze of lime juice, let rest for about 10 minutes. Cover the onions with lukewarm water and let rest for another 10 minutes. Rinse and drain the onions

Add the lime juice, salt and the oil, and mix well. Cover the onions and place in the fridge, the onions will start to turn pinkish after about 3 hours, and will turn very pink if left overnight. 

Taste again before serving and add salt if needed.
