Preparation

Step 1

Place the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, and cook until well caramelized, about 15 minutes. Let cool.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled onions and all the remaining ingredients, folding until well mixed.

Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving garnished with additional chives, if desired.

HELPFUL TIP: Two cups of diced yellow onions is about the yield of two medium onions. Sweet yellow (Vidalia) onions are recommended over Spanish onions, as the natural sugars in the Vidalia onions will help them caramelize in step 1.
