Refreshing and inexpensive. I forgot to take a picture until we had already eaten two servings 😋 We enjoyed this with baked beans and a stuffed roasted poblano.

- 1
To make the dressing, begin by squeezing about two tablespoons of chopped onion with a lemon juicer, reserving about 1 tablespoon of liquid in a bowl.
- 2
Whisk in any type of vinegar, salt and any type of sweetener. I used local honey. I also think brown sugar would work really well.
- 3
Add oil(equal to the amount of vinegar used) in a slow steady stream, whisking to emulsify. Or you can use a blender or food processor.
- 4
Set dressing aside. Wash the cucumber, peel and cut in half. If you have guinea pigs they will love the peels : ) I sliced those halves in half to create semi-circles. Slice thinly.
- 5
Add a tablespoon of chopped onion to the sliced cucumber.
- 6
Whisk vinaigrette again and pour over cucumbers and onions. Cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

Our local Thai place has a really nice cucumber salad that is very sweet. This is owr version of a cucumber salad that is not as sweet, with a pop of flavor from the pepper. We enjoy this during warmer months with various chicken or pork dishes. And now to find a decent peanut sauce recipe.... 🤔
Easy Sweet Onion Salad
I wanted to use up some cans.There's canned saury, sardines, mackerel, etc., so use whatever's available.You can season it with soy sauce or miso if you like.It's lightly flavored and delicious.Canned food is heavily flavored, so you don't need seasonings.Kids love it if you add a bit of mayonnaise.

Creamy Cucumber and Sweet Onion Salad "My Way"

Simple Tomato & Sweet Onion Salad
Here in Southern California, we're back to al fresco dining weather, and we like to enjoy it as much a possible.One of our favorite al fresco meals is a wine, cheese, and salumi lunch, and this simple tomato salad made specifically with red wine vinegar is one of my favorite accompaniments. You could totally use another kind of vinegar if you like, but there's just something about the flavor of red wine vinegar that I love in this salad. :)If you can get them, sweet onions like Vidalias or Mayan Sweets are ideal.
Orange and Sweet Onion Salad
I absolutely love the combination of these flavors. I wanted everyone to try it at least once so I uploaded the recipe here!The oranges I used this time were small, so I used one per person, cut it into half and then sliced them into about 7-8 mm. If you have large oranges, cut them into quarters first.If you don't have sweet onions, use regular onions, soaked in salted water or massaged with a little salt to get rid of the harshness. For 2 servings. Recipe by rie-tin

Easy Refreshing Sweet Onion and Tomato Salad
This is a copycat recipe of the tomato salad that a Genghis Khan (BBQ sliced lamb) restaurant serves. My husband, who does not like fresh tomatoes, loved it. And, he said it was better than the one at the restaurant.If you use sweet onions, they should not be too sharp tasting, but if you'd rather not have any sharpness, soak them in water to mellow the flavor. If you have enough time, chill the tomatoes on a plate in the refrigerator until icy cold, then enjoy. Recipe by Momonoyasashiikaori
Chilled Tomato and Sweet Onion Salad
My mother made this for me a lot. My husband loves it too.It's best made in advance (e.g.: made at lunchtime for dinner), so that you can let it rest in the refrigerator for a sufficient amount of time to let it get really cold and have the flavors settle in. Recipe by Inaemon

Sweet Onion and Pork Salad with Garlic and Mayo
I had some delicious sweet onions.Cutting the onion at a right angle helps mitigate its stinging spiciness.There's no need to soak the sweet onion in water or rub some salt in it. However, if you dislike its spiciness or if you're using regular onions, please prep them so they're not too strong in flavor.Do not chill the pork in ice water! This will make the meat excessively tough. Recipe by Oshisu

I usually use onions and tuna because I like them stir-fried together. I thought it would be delicious if I used sweet onions and mixed fluffy spring potatoes with soy sauce. That's how it all came about.I added the soy sauce in two batches to enjoy its flavor.I recommend you mix the potatoes when they're hot while making sure not to mash them too much.Please adjust the cooking time for the potatoes since it can vary according to size.You can boil or steam the potatoes instead of microwaving them. For 4 serving. Recipe by creamcrepe

When I went to Baguio for a short vacation, I was mesmerized by their salads! Their fruits and vegetables are undeniably fresh.

Sweet Onion, Bonito Flake, Tomato, Soy Sauce and Mayonnaise Salad
Both my husband and I get heartburn if we eat raw onions so I microwaved the onions and made them into a salad.Microwave the onion to your desired degree of doneness. If you don't get heartburn from raw onions, try this without cooking the onion. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise and soy sauce to your taste. I recommend using a ton of bonito flakes on this! For about 2 servings. Recipe by John Lee Cooker
Greek Salad & Lemon Vinaigrette
What could be more delicious to eat on a hot summer day? Salad of course! I love all sorts of salads with different Oil bases and or any home made dressing. This is a very simple, green, light, and healthy salad based in Olive Oil and Lemon.Coming from a Greek background, I don’t remember my mother ever not using Olive Oil, and so the tradition continued with me. I use Olive Oil in all my salads and in my recipes, because I love the taste, texture, and the fact is the benefits of eating Olive Oil are just countless.

Avocado and Tomato Salad with Sweet Chili Mayonnaise Dressing
Tossing avocado and tomatoes with sweet chili sauce alone didn't work, so I added mayonnaise and turned it into a successful dish.You can cut the avocado and tomato in any shape, but I find this method makes it easy to toss with the dressing. The thickness of the sweet chili sauce depends on the brand, so adjust the amount to taste. Recipe by Mawaru7
Spicy Celery Sweet Onion salad/lacto-fermentation
Since Memorial holiday this year, I felt not much desire to cook near my stove in a 3-digit steaming weather. On the other side, farmer's market are packed with lots of nice-looking vegetables. Why not making large batch of fresh salad which easily turn to lacto-fermentation in a day or two later.
