Onion varieties and best uses

The conversions above are the same whatever variety you use; the difference is what each is good for. Here is how the common onion varieties compare.

Variety	Best for
Yellow / brown	All-purpose cooking, soups, caramelising: balanced and sweetens when cooked.
Red	Raw in salads and pickling: mild, colourful; also good roasted.
White	Mexican dishes and salsa: sharp and clean raw.
Sweet (Vidalia / Walla Walla)	Onion rings and raw slices: low pungency, high sugar.
Shallot	Dressings and pan sauces: delicate, subtle flavour.

Which should I pick?

For everyday cooking, soups, and caramelising, a yellow / brown onion is the default, with the most balanced flavour. For raw use in salads, salsa, or pickling, a red or sweet (Vidalia / Walla Walla) onion is milder. White onions suit Mexican dishes; shallots are the delicate choice for dressings and pan sauces.
