I discovered marinated mushrooms! They are so delicious! Only $2.49 for the whole jar! Check 'em out. I am dreaming of chopping some up and tossing them in omelets and other leafy green salads... Yumm!
Ok also, I wanted to share a couple little secrets on dicing an onion. Quick and tear-free!
Step 1. Grab your sun glasses! They keep the 'onion air' from getting to your eyes. If you have goggles... Even better! Shout out to the FastCap goggles (http://www.fastcap.com/estore/pc/CatEyes-AF-Safety-Glasses-7p114.htm) they would work perfectly!
Step 2. Chop one end of the onion
Step 3. Chop a tiny slice off one side of the onion so when you start dicing your onion isn't rolling all over the chopping board... It's only a small slice so you won't even miss it.
Step 5. Make cuts perpendicular to each other so you have 5-6 slices (depending on how tiny you want your pieces) horizontally and 5-6 vertically. Be carefull not to slice all the way through to the root! The root is what is keeping everything together until you make your final cuts!
Step 6. With the onion on the flat side. Cut through the onion from top to bottom all the way to the root.
And voila! Diced onion without the drama!
Also, just note. I used Dijon mustard with white wine vinegar in it already, but it may have more flavor if you add the white wine vinegar separately.
(Lastly, this is a Paula Dean recipe... who would have thought??? LOL)
