green onion
Mild salad topper
A green onion is a young onion harvested before the bulb fully develops, eaten whole—mild white base and hollow green tops.
Also called scallions or spring onions, they appear raw in salads, as garnish, or cooked briefly in stir-fries: Slice the green onions thin and scatter them over the soup.
