Tips & Tricks

Sweeten your meals, sharpen your skills, and get the most out of every Vidalia. Whether you’re dicing for a stir-fry, slicing for burgers, or prepping for the freezer, a little care goes a long way. Use the right knife, mind your technique, and treat each onion like the seasonal treasure it is. With a few small tweaks, your Vidalias can shine in every dish — and last longer, too.

Perfect for Raw Dishes

Their natural sweetness shines in salads, salsas, and slaws—no need to cook to enjoy the flavor.

Slice, Don’t Smash

Use a sharp knife or mandoline to preserve the juicy layers and avoid bruising the delicate flesh.

Store Smart

Keep them in a cool, dry place with plenty of airflow. Avoid plastic bags and keep them away from potatoes.

Freeze for Later

Chop and freeze in portions to use in soups, sautés, or stews long after the season ends.

Quick Pickle

Soak thin slices in vinegar, sugar, and salt for 10 minutes. Boom—instant topping for burgers, tacos, or grain bowls.

Roast to Caramel Perfection

Low and slow on the stovetop brings out rich, golden sweetness.
Try it: Medium-low heat, 30–45 minutes with a touch of oil or butter.

Grill Like a Pro

Brush with olive oil and grill in rounds or wedges. Sweet, smoky, and stunning on any plate.

Sweet in Surprising Places

Toss them on pizza, stir into breakfast quiche, or blend into a tangy-sweet vinaigrette. Yes, really.
