Main Ingredients- 1/3 bunch scallions
- 1/2 onion
Dressing- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp sesame oil
- 2 Tbsp vinegar
- 1/2 tsp salt
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the fresh scallions. Then, cut them into segments of about 4-5 cm (1.5-2 inches) length. Cutting them into manageable pieces will make them easier to eat.
Step 2
Peel half an onion and thinly slice it into julienne strips. Slicing the onion thinly is key to achieving a pleasant, slightly crisp texture that blends well with the scallions.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the prepared scallions and julienned onions. Add the dressing ingredients: 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, 2 tablespoons of vinegar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gently toss everything together with a spoon until well combined. Be careful not to overmix or mash the scallions, as this can make them wilt too much.
Step 4
After lightly tossing to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed, transfer the salad to a serving plate. For an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal, sprinkle a pinch of toasted sesame seeds on top. This completes your delicious and refreshing scallion and onion salad!
