Tips:

  • Use high-quality onions for the best flavor. Red onions or yellow onions are good choices.
  • Slice the onions thinly so they cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when cooking the onions. If the pan is too crowded, the onions will steam instead of caramelize.
  • Cook the onions over medium-low heat so they have time to caramelize slowly and evenly.
  • Stir the onions occasionally so they don't burn.
  • Once the onions are caramelized, remove them from the pan and let them cool slightly before adding them to the salad.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the salad. Some good options include cilantro, mint, cumin, and coriander.
  • Add some crumbled feta cheese or paneer cheese for extra flavor and texture.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later.
