This onion salad is a great way to take advantage of the sweet Vidalia onions that are still fairly plentiful in the market. The tarragon adds a delicate herbal touch to the mustard vinaigrette and topping the greens with the warm onions wilts the lettuce just enough. Grilling onions can be a bit of a challenge, as the rings want to separate when you try to turn them over, so be sure to follow the instructions and slice them 1/2-inch thick.
