Add the finely chopped white onion to the oil and sauté for approximately 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

Bring the mixture to a simmer and reduce the heat to low, allowing it to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly.

Stir in the apple cider vinegar, and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Allow the salsa to cool slightly before serving, or blend it for a smoother texture if desired.
