Onion Salad (Zibelsalat) image

Onions are a celebrated vegetable in the city of Bern, where Zibelmärit (Onion Market Day) takes place every November.

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 yellow onions, peeled and sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 1 lb.)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 slice bacon
1 Tbsp whole wheat flour

  • 4. Cook until bacon is crisp and onions are light brown (about 10 minutes), stirring frequently.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover onions. I always have a few onions lying around and this is a great way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of onions but this salad is delicious. The dressing really takes the edge off the onions and makes them really palatable.

This onion salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that perfectly complements grilled meats and fish. I love the tangy dressing and the crunch of the onions.
