Instructions
- 1
Make the quick-pickled onion: combine the apple cider vinegar, water, honey, and 1/2 tsp salt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the honey and salt dissolve, about 1–2 minutes. Pour the warm brine over the sliced red onion in a small bowl, pressing the onion down so it is submerged. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, until the onion turns bright pink and softens slightly.

Make the coconut-dill spread: whisk together the chilled coconut cream, chopped dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, and 1/4 tsp salt in a small mixing bowl until smooth and uniform. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
