Sweet, sharp and beautifully purple, red onion is my go-to for adding a fresh bite and a pop of color to salads, tacos and pizza. Pickle it in 20 minutes for tangy Quick Pickled Red Onions, perfect on Fried Egg Breakfast Tacos and just about everything else. Slice it thin for summer salads like a Greek Watermelon Salad with Feta and Mint, an easy Cucumber and Tomato Salad or a Skirt Steak Salad with Blue Cheese Dressing. And for pizza night, scatter it over a Fig Pizza with Blue Cheese and Arugula. Tip: to tame raw red onion’s bite, soak thin slices in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry. They’ll stay crisp but taste milder and sweeter.
