Ingredients:

1/2 cup olive oil
110g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
3 tbsp vinegar
44g
2/3 tbsp onion
7g
1 garlic clove
3g
1 tbsp rosemary
1.70g
6 onions
900g
1 tsp salt
6g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 tsp mustard
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, 3 tbsp vinegar, 1 tsp mustard, and a dash of salt.
- Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup olive oil until the dressing is well blended and emulsified. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Onions for Grilling:
- Peel and cut the 6 large onions into thick rings, about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick.
- Brush both sides of the onion rings with 2 tbsp olive oil.
- Sprinkle 1 tsp salt evenly over the onion rings.
3. Grill the Onions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Place the onion rings directly on the grill grates.
- Grill the onions for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until they are tender and have beautiful grill marks. Be careful not to burn them; adjust the heat as necessary.
4. Assemble the Salad:
- Once grilled, transfer the onion rings to a serving platter or bowl.
- Drizzle the prepared rosemary, mustard, and olive oil dressing over the grilled onions.
5. Serve:
- Serve the salad warm or at room temperature.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or can be enjoyed on its own as a flavorful side.

Tips:

- When grilling the onions, make sure to slice them uniformly to ensure even cooking.

- If you don't have a grill, you can also roast the onions in the oven at 400°F (200°C) until they are caramelized and tender.

- For a stronger rosemary flavor, let the dressing sit for at least 30 minutes before using, allowing the herbs to infuse the oil.

- Adjust the amount of mustard to your taste if you prefer a milder or stronger mustard flavor.

- Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for an extra burst of freshness.

This grilled onion salad with rosemary, mustard, and olive oil dressing is not only easy to prepare but also rich in flavors. Whether served at a summer barbecue or a cozy dinner, it is sure to impress with its simplicity and taste.
