For a milder onion flavor, soak the sliced onions in ice water for 30 minutes before marinating. This will help to remove some of the pungency. If you don't have Vidalia onions, any other sweet onion variety will work well. Walla Walla or Maui onions are excellent substitutes. For a slightly sweeter flavor, you can use a combination of white and apple cider vinegar. If you're short on time, you can marinate the onions for a minimum of 4 hours, but the longer they marinate, the better the flavor will be. Get creative with your serving options! In addition to saltine crackers, try serving the onions with toasted baguette slices, tortilla chips, or even as a topping for grilled burgers or hot dogs.
