This awesome salad is brought to us by Peri & Sons Farms. Loaded with fiber and lots of fresh veggies, feel free to eat this feast warm or chilled. Though you can customize the veggies you add, the unquestionable life of the party is Peri & Sons Wonderful Whites onions!
We love incorporating onion from Peri & Sons Farms to our recipes, especially because all of their onions are grown, packed and shipped directly from their farm, following strict certified guidelines for food safety, traceability and sustainability. Their highly sought-after white onion is uniquely pearlescent in coloring and has a firm feel. Generally, they taste sweeter than most Spanish yellow onions and when stored properly, these onions will have a long shelf life.

Why is a red onion listed in the ingredients? While the name and photos show white onions?
