Sample a scallion
Onion lovers: It’s time to break out of your yellow and white onion rut and enhance your game! Scallions, or green onions, are tender young onions that are harvested when they’re still green. Their delicate flavor and pleasantly tender crunch makes them a delightful addition to literally hundreds of sauces, crusts, soups, stews, salads, and other dishes. Scallions peak in spring and summer and are best stored in a plastic bag in your produce crisper. Today, challenge yourself to discover their unique flavor and texture.

I love scallions in my salad, but I end up throwing so much away because they are sold is big bags. So I changed that. I purchased scallions I can grow myself. That way I use what I need and there is no waste!
Scallions…no need to challenge me to eat them…im actually growing them in my herb garden and LOVE snipping them and adding them to my salads, tacos, stir fries or anything else i want to add a fresh oniony flavor to…
Have some onion greens that I harvested today. I like to trim them back so the plants take their time and the onions get large. When it’s time to thin it’s scallions galore.
one of my favorite garnishes that i use.
Growing in my kitchen right now! Love them!
We eat these plain as a snack or dipped in ranch dressing. They are very mild and a great onion to start with if someone hasn’t tried onions or doesn’t like onions. I love them and so do my kids!
This challenge was more for my husband’s benefit. I decided to make chicken teriyaki at home instead of heading off to the local Japanese restaurant. It was fun cooking it with my husband at home and using fresh scallions and ginger.

I love grilling scallions, with a little olive oil, some salt, pepper and garlic powder. Recently, a friend introduced me to something similar. The tops of the garlic that he grows in his garden. Very nice! Going to be a substitute for scallions. Try it.
