One of my favorite combos is spinach salad with raspberry dressing and that has bacon and red onions. There I think the raw red onions can be a bit harsh unlike pickled ones.

Mine never turn out "super" mild, but definitely not as harsh. I'm not a big fan of strawberries in salads, but my wife might enjoy that. I'll file this away and add the strawberries after I serve myself :).

I do like fruit in salad....oranges, persimmons, berries, grapes, avocado etc but I didn't put any strawberries in the salad...just the dressing. . You might need to do your fruit "on the side".
I don't remember which recipe but I heat white vinegar with sugar and salt and pour the hot mixture over the sliced onions. For me, it really mellows out.

Yeah, just the blanching of the onions takes out a lot of the bite. I usually use apple cider vinegar, salt, and no sugar, and sometimes lime juice and jalapenos, because I'm typically making them for Mexican food. I could see yours having a different flavor.

I think the sugar helps.
I do love them on Mexican food but also on eggs, salads, chicken.

Sous vide beef and green beans
 
My wife made some nice sous vide chuck roast. Tastes like $15 a pound meat, instead of $2.77 a pound. Plus some spicy green beans with cashews and onions. Really tastes good!

The Chicagoan in me had a taste for Chicken Vesuvio. I didn’t think to take the photo until after it had been picked over.

Home from vacation…

Turkey taco supper

zero dessert - I’ve been enjoying tillamook chocolate ice cream since Monday so zero ice cream and hopefully zero dessert until next week. In theory! Plus I had a milkshake with today’s luncheon.

That looks really good.

Chicken Vesuvio, btw. It's supposed to have peas, but partner hates them. I meant to make them separately, so I could have them as a side or throw them on top, but forgot, until it was time to sit down.
