Combine the finely chopped yellow onion or shallot into a mixing bowl with the vinegar. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to help remove some spiciness from the onion/ shallot.

While the onion/ shallot marinate, cut the 2 heads of lettuce in half, long ways. Dry off any excess water as needed.

Once the 10 minutes have passed, add the remaining ingredients for the vinaigrette and whisk until well combined. Use the dressing immediately by drizzling it over the lettuce halves or cover and store it in the fridge for up to 1 week, just give it a good mix before using.
