Green Onions With Sea Salt

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Food Plating: Green Onions with Sea Salt! My family could not have a picnic without a jar of raw green onions nearby. Typically the jar had a little water in bottom to keep the onions garden fresh. The vibrant color against a rustic backdrop served as a personal invitation to indulge. No matter who hosted the gathering, it wasn’t complete without the popular southern-style simple pleasure. Grab a lawn chair, kick off your shoes, let the grass tickle your toes, and be a child again. 

GREEN ONIONS WITH SEA SALT

Ingredients:

1 bunch of green onions

Individual condiment saucer, or salt cellar, of sea salt

Instructions:

Wash the green onions thoroughly, removing any wilted leaves from the outer layer. Trim the white root ends where the bulb is formed. Angle cut the green stalks at the opposite end. Place a bowl of coarse sea salt nearby. To eat, dip the white end of the green onion into the sea salt. Take a crunchy bite. Repeat until the entire green onion is consumed.

    • That’s the beauty, Ashley. We even had “onion grass” growing wild in our country yard. Whenever my husband mowed the area, it smells so wonderful. 🍃🌱🧅🌿

      • Do you mean wild garlic?

        Here, chopped scallions (sometimes warmed in milk) scattered into buttery mashed potato makes “champ”, and I’m having some today. 😋

        Also, as a child my mum would give us a celery stick & we’d eat it in the same way as your green onions, dipped in salt.
