Make an onion salad without crying
If you’re one of those people who hates making onion salad because it makes you cry, today we bring you the solution. You don’t need to put on laboratory or swimming goggles, there is a much simpler – and fun, why not say it – way to make an onion salad. Release your stress and prepare a delicious dish at the same time, with this trick from chef Ada Parellada.
With your fist or with a utensil
Making onion salad without crying is possible. You just need, first of all, an onion. You will have to peel it and remove the darker skins. Try not to take off too many layers other than the essential ones because then your eyes might start to itch. Once you have peeled the onion, wrap it in a clean cloth. Clean! Please make sure the cloth is not dirty. Once you have the onion peeled and well wrapped, roll up your sleeves because it’s time to get down to business.
Release your tension on the wrapped onion. If you think you’re going to hurt your fist or feel like you don’t have enough strength to crush the onion, grab your toolbox and choose the way that works best for you to perform this trick: a wrench, a hammer, or a large screwdriver. they will be used to beat the onion and cut it into pieces. The result won’t be useful for making a stir-fry, but with the pieces of onion you get, you can make a delicious salad.
The crushed fibers remove all the itchiness of the onion and you will see how tasty it is
Take a tomato and cut it into pieces. Put it in a bowl and add the crushed pieces of onion. If there are any that are too thick, break them up with your fingers. The crushed fibers remove all the itchiness of the onion and you will see how tasty it is. Add a drizzle of oil, a little salt, paprika and black pepper, a few drops of sherry and some black olives.
An onion dish that doesn’t make you cry, but makes you laugh because of how easy it is!
