Notes
- Use thinly sliced onions to ensure the dressing soaks in without overpowering the texture.
- Adjust honey amount to control sweetness based on your taste preferences.
- Blue cheese can be substituted with feta or goat cheese for a milder taste.
- This snack is best served fresh to preserve the crunchiness of the onions.
- For a dairy-free option, omit the blue cheese and increase capers or use vegan cheese.
