No. 1 Peel onion.
No. 2 Chop off end, leaving root end in tact. This helps keep tears at bay.
No. 3 Slice onion in half through the root.
No. 4 Make two horizontal slices (parallel to the cutting board). It’s important that you stop just short of the root.
No. 5 Make a series of cuts along the ridges of the onion, perpendicular to the horizontal cuts. Again, be sure to stop just short of the root.
No. 6 Finally, slice all the way to the root, allowing the onion to fall apart in perfectly diced pieces.
