To prepare an onion, trim the top and base off the onion, then peel and discard tough outer layers, usually top one to two layers.
If there is damage, cut these parts and discard, or discard extra layers until there isn’t any slime.
Slice in half lengthwise and lay the onion with the cut (flat) side face down on the cutting board. Cut the onion into thin wedges, about 1/4 inch thick.
Leave as slices or turn the sliced onion a quarter turn and cut perpendicular slices to dice.

P.S. I recently learned about the technique of leaving the root stem of the onion intact to keep the onion together while slicing. I think it’s brilliant! But honestly, this way is easier for me. It’s okay to do what works for YOU!
