Leave the stem end intact when cutting the onion. The onion will hold together and be easier to chop.
Great Pairings
Tropical Crunch Salad
If strawberries are out of season, and unavailable, or priced too high, use 2 chopped peeled pears instead. Even when berries are in season and priced low, pears may be the better buy.
