If you soak the onions slices in cold water–then dry thoroughly–they will be less sharp/sweeter.
I serve this a lot for Shabbat lunch but I also put out Pesto Wraps and alfalfa sprouts in addition to the ingredients listed. It’s such an easy lunch to prepare on Friday to serve on Saturday. I use a multi-divided tray and prep all veggies on Friday.
I have been looking for new lunch ideas. Thanks so much!
