Ingredients
Scale
Onion and Dressing
- 1/2 small red onion, sliced into thin rounds
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- 1/2 tablespoon honey
Toppings
- 2 tablespoons blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons capers
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
Instructions
- Prepare the onion base: Place the thinly sliced red onion rounds evenly on a plate to serve as the foundation of the snack. Drizzle the lemon juice over the onions to add brightness and help mellow their sharpness.
- Add the dressing: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic glaze, and honey evenly over the lemon-coated onions. This combination adds a balanced sweetness and acidity to complement the onions.
- Sprinkle toppings: Evenly scatter the blue cheese, capers, and fresh dill on top of the dressed onions. The blue cheese brings creamy tanginess, capers add a salty bite, and fresh dill offers herbal freshness.
- Serve: Enjoy the Savory Onion Snack immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- This snack is best served fresh to maintain the crispness of the onion.
- Adjust honey quantity to taste if you prefer less sweetness.
- For a milder onion flavor, soak the sliced onions in ice water for 10 minutes before assembling.
- Can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or a light snack.
- Blue cheese can be substituted with feta or goat cheese for a different flavor profile.
