If you are making a salad and you would like to use a red onion for colour and only have white ones just soak sliced white onion in a bit of beetroot juice. Nobody will know the difference.

Red onions are slightly milder than the white variety, hense the reason they are often used raw in salads. But generally they can be used where white onions are called for unless the red colour would spoil the look of the dish.

I used red once, they taste fine but they actually go a wierd grey colour when you cook them, so look funny...

I love red onions. They have a slightly 'sweeter' taste. Try them sliced in a dish of balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
