Onions are a healthy vegetable that add a piquant flavor to many dishes.

However, sometimes the bitterness is too much.

As a result, a salad that contains onions is not as appetizing as one would like.

The gourmet first feels the sharp taste of the vegetable. The aromas of other ingredients are "lost".

Fortunately, the onion can be made much less bitter by pre-treating it.

This simple and quick procedure should be enough to stop the vegetable from tasting bitter.

Now the cook can safely add onion cubes or rings to a vegetable salad.
