I learned this tip while testing recipes from Michael Natkin’s Herbivoracious
Just cut the onion, then soak in cold ice water for 10-15 minutes.
Drain and pat dry, then use in your recipe as directed.

Here’s Michael’s wonderful book. Review and giveaway to follow in a few weeks.
I have also found that adding a little fresh lemon juice to the water brings out the sugar in the onions…delicious!
that’s great to know! I had given up on adding raw onions to stuff because of their ‘strength’.
oooh! what a cool tip!
Nice – thanks for the tip!
I am deep into this book right now, and loving it! I just posted my review and a recipe today, in fact. http://www.shockinglydelicious.com/ten-minute-chickpea-salad-with-feta-and-basil-from-herbivoracious/
