scallions

Slender salad onions

Scallions are young onions harvested before the bulb fully develops, with long green stalks and small white bases.

They're eaten raw in salads, used as garnish, or added to cooked dishes for mild onion flavor.

Also called green onions or spring onions: Chop some scallions for the stir-fry.
