spring onions
Salad bar alliums
Spring onions are young onions harvested before the bulb fully develops, eaten whole with their long green stalks.
The white base has a mild onion flavor while the green tops are milder still.
Common in salads, stir-fries, and as garnish.
Also called scallions or green onions, though usage varies by region: Chop the spring onions and scatter them over the soup.
