Keep Onion Handy

I keep a peeled onion in a glass jar in my refrigerator. It’s handy when I need a small amount of chopped onion for a recipe or my husband wants a slice of onion on his hamburger. It stays fresh in the jar, eliminating waste. —Dorothy G., Tewksbury, Massachusetts

Made this for me and my boyfriend and we both thought that it was a hit! I added some more hot pepper sauce and omitted the Worcestershire sauce..by accident! Ooops!

I will definitely make it again. Low cal & tasty indeed.
