Here in Georgia the summer is full of Vidalia onions. If you’ve never heard of a Vidalia onion, it is a sweet onion that comes from Vidalia, Georgia. It’s like the ultimate sweet onion. Super sweet, super delicious. So if you can find a Vidalia onion at the grocery store, MAKE THIS DRESSING WITH THOSE. If you can’t, a regular ‘ole sweet onion will do.

I love this dressing because it’s so naturally sweet and delicious, but also has that unmistakable caramelized taste that onions and leeks get when sautéed. It’s truly such a crowd pleaser, especially in the warmer months. I like to use it on salads, slaw, or even burgers! (I’m also tempted to just drink it at times, but I restrain.) So see what creative ways you can come up with to utilize all the best ingredients of summer! ENJOY.
