About Onion salad

Onion salad is a simple yet flavorful side dish, commonly found in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines. It typically consists of thinly sliced red onions, often mixed with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley, and enhanced with tangy ingredients such as lemon juice, vinegar, or yogurt. Sometimes spices like cumin, chili powder, or black pepper are added for extra zest. This refreshing dish is low in calories and rich in antioxidants, particularly quercetin, which supports heart health and reduces inflammation. Onions also provide a good source of vitamin C and fiber. However, the addition of salty dressings or excessive oil can increase its sodium and calorie content. Enjoyed as a topping for grilled meats or a standalone side, onion salad is both a nutritious and delicious accompaniment with a bold, fresh flavor.
