1. 01

   Sauté the Onion

   Start the dipping sauce by sautéing the 1 onion in 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook until the onion pieces are soft and transparent, not browned.
2. 02

   Cool the Onion

   Take the sautéed onion off the heat and let it cool down before moving to the next step. This prevents it from cooking the other ingredients when blended.

   Blend the Sauce

   Once cooled, transfer the onion to a food processor. Add the remaining sauce ingredients: 1 teaspoon cumin, the juice of 1 lime, 1 teaspoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon oregano, 3 tablespoons sugar, 3 tablespoons vinegar, and 3 1/2 cups water. Pulse a few times until the sauce reaches your desired consistency – you might want it mostly smooth, or with a few small pieces of onion still visible.
