Spanish Onion Salad

Soak some large Spanish onions for a few hours, changing the water several times, for the purpose of reducing their flavor. Slice the onions, put them in a salad bowl with a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, about a teacupful of vinegar and one-and one-half teacupfuls of salad oil; season with pepper and salt, toss the salad about to mix it, then serve with toasted crackers.
