Instructions

1
Make the pickled onion: combine the apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt in a small bowl and stir until the sugar and salt dissolve. Add the sliced red onion, press it down to submerge, and set aside for at least 15 minutes, until the onion turns bright pink and softens slightly.
2
Make the slaw: toss the shredded cabbage with the lime juice, 1 tbsp olive oil, cilantro, and 1/4 tsp salt in a medium bowl until evenly coated. Set aside.
