Good-quality green onions have bright-white bulbs with dark green ends, are straight
along their entire length and are crisp. Green onions are basically onions that have not
matured - they are picked while the tops are green and the bulbs are small.
Green onions have a mild taste and are a great addition to any salad. They are also
very low in calories and great for you.
An added tip: If you are grilling some food to go along with your salad, use the stem
end of a green onion as a "brush" to apply marinade to food on the grill. It
will give the food a hint of extra flavor that will taste great!
