This sweetness makes them excellent in salads, and on sandwiches You can also use thick slices of Vidalia Sweet Onions on hamburgers or grilled steaks. When grilled a Vidalia Sweet Onion can make an excellent side dish.

To grill, wash the onion and remove the outer layers of skin. Using a paring knife or apple corer, cut a hole in the top of the onion. Add a beef bullion cube, a tablespoon of butter, and an ice cube for extra moisture.

Wrap the onion in a double layer of foil, and grill until the onion is soft enough to pierce easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. You’ll want to leave a small opening at the top of the foil to allow the cooking onion to vent.
