Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
