Love Your Onion Friends

November 7, 2014 by Sarah

Looking for a great versatile food to add a pop of flavor to a variety of different dishes?

Stop your intensive searching!! Turn to some Balsamic-Glazed Onions!

These babies are delicious. Or could it just be that I am in love with balsamic vinegar? I guess just try them for yourself, and then we’ll know if my opinion is biased or not 😉

Balsamic Onion Salad

I have to give a little credit to work again for this one. We had a flatbread that had balsamic onions on it, and the onions tasted so freaking yummy on it. So I inquired (like usual).

The good news is that they’re way easy and quick to make.

The additional good news is that they’re flavor- bursting exploding good. Did I already cover that? Very well, I repeat myself.

Balsamic Onion Salad

This salad was especially fun to eat because I didn’t use any dressing. It’s one of those ‘what you see is what you get’ kind of salads. Gotta love a salad that’s not afraid to show its true colors: bed of greens, balsamic-glazed onions, goat cheese crumbles, sliced cucumber and avocado.

The reason I didn’t feel the need to use dressing was two-fold: the balsamic onions covered the flavor division nicely, and the avocado and goat cheese together add creaminess so when you mix the salad, it coats the other ingredients!

These onions are nice to keep in the fridge to add to salads on-the-go. Other than salads, you can put the onions on or with tons of things like eggs and quiches, sandwiches, lettuce wraps, quinoa/rice and sautéed veggies, homemade pizza, and proteins (chicken/steak/fish, etc.) – to name a few.

And lastly, these red onions don’t just taste good; my brother recently did a post about some of the health benefits of red onions over at Healthy Wild and Free! You better believe they are good for you, and this is a great way for you to include them into your diet 🙂
