Notes

* I don’t know you but I can’t eat raw onion just like this, so my tip here is to chop the onions very thin, rinse them with water and leave the in warm water for 30 mins. I drain the water, rinse and squish out the excess water. This way are very easy to digest and won’t leave that strong taste in your mouth!
