Salads are diverse dishes that can incorporate a variety of ingredients, with raw onions being a common element. While raw onions add flavor and texture, their strong taste can be too much for some. Alternatives like scallions and shallots can be used to maintain the crunch and flavor without the overpowering bite of raw onions. Soaking raw onions can also temper their intensity. Scallions, particularly their white parts, closely resemble raw onions, while shallots provide a milder flavor and similar texture.
Scallions add a versatile crunch and bulk to salads, with their white parts providing the closest flavor swap to raw onion.
If you find raw onions overpowering, soaking sliced onion in cold water can tone down their bite, making them easier to digest.
