Salad without onion
19 salads from the library, and we checked every ingredient in every one of them before it went on this list.
467 of the 1,124 recipes in this library name onion somewhere.
One thing worth knowing at the store: canned vegetables are allowed to contain onion even when a recipe never asks for it, so we keep recipes built on those cans off this list.
