Roasted Red Onion Salad with Honey Pecans and Apple Vinaigrette

This is an utterly simple, yet quite unlike any other salad. The humble onion gets a makeover with honey glazed pecans and apple vinaigrette. I have roasted them in oven, but if you are blessed with a grill, then grill them on medium for 7-8 minutes until lightly softened and charred. The recipe works just as well with other types of onions, but red one looks prettier. Walnuts, hazelnuts or pine nuts are great substitutes for pecans. They are excellent with grilled fish, or kebab and flat bread.

 
  • 2-3 Red onions, halved lengthways
  • 2 tbsp Honey (or maply syrup)
  • 50 g Pecans, roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp Wholegrain mustard
  • 2 tbsp Red wine vinegar
  • 6 tbsp Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt and freshly milled black pepper
  • 1 Apple, peeled and finely diced
  • 1 tbsp Dill, roughly chopped
  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Cut each onion in half lengthways from bulb end to tip. Place them, cut side down, on a baking tray, and roast for 10 minutes.
  2. Remove and set aside to cool slightly. Separate the layers of the onion into petals and arrange them in a serving platter.
  3. Bring honey or maple syrup to a simmer in a skillet over medium heat. Add in roughly chopped pecans and turn off the heat. Mix well and set aside to cool.
  4. In a bowl, mix the mustard, vinegar and oil, season, then add the diced apple. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the onions, then top with honey pecans and chopped dill.

I have to admit that I do not believe in roasted onions, just the fried ones LOL but it looks nice visually. Wishing you a peaceful weekend, hope it is not 30C like it is here.

Pocas cosas hay que me gusten más que una manzana en la ensalada con toque dulce de miel. Ahora no puedo hacer las cebollas en una parrilla, pero en verano si y te aseguro que no me las pienso perder.

Red onions are usually more flavoursome. I love shallots even more
