Tips:
- For the green salad, choose fresh and crisp greens such as romaine lettuce, arugula, spinach, or mixed greens. Wash and dry the greens thoroughly before assembling the salad.
- To make the onion dressing, use a sharp knife to finely slice the onion. This will help the onion release its flavor into the dressing.
- Whisk the onion, olive oil, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl until well combined. Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- Toss the greens with the onion dressing just before serving. This will help the dressing evenly coat the greens.
- For a more flavorful salad, add some crumbled bacon, chopped nuts, or grated cheese to the top.
