Onion Straws are crisp and delicious. They are perfect for topping a salad or on a burger or just eating them by themselves.

One of our favorite meals around here is Big Steak Salad.  My favorite part is the marinade and salad dressing.  The Hardworking Husband's favorite is the onion straws.  Once again these are very healthy, but I feel better about them because we aren't eating very many.  Plus I'm putting them on top of a salad.  

How are Onion Straws different than onion rings?

Onion straws are similar to onion rings in that they are onions and they are deep fried.  Onion rings are dipped in a batter. Onion straws are dredged in a flour mixture and they are also much thinner than onion rings.

Of course these are delicious on the big steak salad, but they are good alone as well.  They would go great with hamburgers or bratwurst.  I highly recommend trying out the big steak salad as well.  The marinade/salad dressing is the best part!

  6. I haven't made any fried onions in such a long time and I love fried onions. Will have to give these a try and pull out my deep fryer.

    1. I think I need to buy a deep fryer. I will have to look for one at a yard sale. It's a pain to have to mess with all that oil. But these onion straws are definitely worth it.
