Cucumber and Charred Onion Salad
This can be a side to any dinner or used as a oversized condiment.
1 Fresno chile, thinly sliced into rings, seeded if desired
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar, divided
2 medium red onions, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium English hothouse cucumber, sliced into rounds
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Combine chile and 2 tablespoons vinegar in a small bowl; set aside.
Place onions on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Turn to coat. Grill onions directly on grate until lightly charred and softened, about 2 minutes per side.
Transfer to a large bowl and toss with remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar; let cool.
Coarsely chop 1/2 cup grilled onion and return to bowl. Add chile and soaking liquid, cucumber, dried oregano, and 2 tablespoons oil and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Serve drizzled with more oil.
