Recipes using red onions


red onions

what is it?

The crisp texture, mild flavor, and bold color mean red onions are at their best when eaten raw, sliced on a sandwich or burger, chopped for a salad or salsa.

kitchen math:

1 medium = 8 oz. = about 1-1/2 cups chopped

don't have it?

You can use Spanish onions or white onions instead.

how to choose:

Buy firm bulbs with no soft spots, bruises, or other signs of damage. The necks should be tightly closed.

how to prep:

Marinating them briefly in a vinaigrette (or other acidic bath) accentuates their bright purple color.

how to store:

Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated spot.
