Marinated Zucchini and Red Onions
These Marinated Zucchini and Red Onions are the perfect snack, salad topper, bowl mix-in, or side dish to any meal! They are made with white wine vinegar, good quality extra virgin olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices. Super quick to throw together, and to keep in the fridge all week! A great way to use up late-summer zucchini too!

Prep Time 15 minutes
Servings 4
Ingredients
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1 clove garlic, crushed and peeled
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (I used parsley, thyme, and oregano here, but use whatever you have! Chives work great too!)
pinch of red pepper flakes
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup good-quality extra virgin olive oil
1/2 of a small-medium red onion, very thinly sliced
1 medium zucchini, thinly sliced
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the white wine vinegar, garlic, herbs, red pepper flakes, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, pepper, and olive oil until combined. Add the zucchini and red onion and toss to combine. Let them marinate for 20-30 minutes or up to 1 hour at room temperature. After they've sat for a bit, season to taste with additional salt if needed. They will keep in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 1 week!
