red onion
Guacamole's pungent addition
Red onion is a variety of onion with purplish-red skin and white flesh tinged with red.
Milder and slightly sweeter than yellow onions, red onions are preferred raw in salads, sandwiches, and salsas, where their color adds visual appeal.
Cooking dulls both their color and distinctive flavor.
