The Latest TikTok Trend Is Savoring Raw Onion?

The latest food trend on TikTok will make you CRY.  And not because it’s funny, ridiculous, or sad.  The tears are just automatic.

People on TikTok are savoring the deliciousness of RAW ONIONS.  (???)  Some people are biting into them like an apple, which seems more like a challenge than a culinary hack.  But others are more civilized.

You just slice a red onion horizontally so you have a flat piece.  Then you add some lemon juice on top, drizzle olive oil over it, and add some salt, pepper, and various spices, like fresh dill or “Everything But the Bagel” seasoning, and finish it off with capers, balsamic, and jalapenos for some heat.

If you’re worried about the “bite” of the raw onion, try soaking it in ice water first.

If you care, there’s also a little cat-fighting on TikTok over who “invented” this concept.  Not that it matters, no one on TikTok is the first person to dress an onion.  Although, they could be the first to PRETEND like it’s exciting.

(Here’s an UNCENSORED one that’s amusing and annoying.  Here’s another, and another.  She also made an ONION SANDWICH.)
