to do is peel off any of the paper leaves as much as you can. Slice it in half on the

root side, trim the top, peel away any of the older, leathery membrane. You want to

leave the root side on. That's the trick. You cut it horizontally. A sharp knife is

necessary for this, and you're only cutting it about 3/4 of the way through. Second, you

just come down...and whatever size you're cutting the onion is how tight you make it.

And then last, just come down

and that's the quickest and easiest way to dice an onion.
