Vidalia onion season is officially underway and it is already looking sweet!

The unofficial rite of spring has arrived in Georgia, when the state’s trademark Vidalia onions are shipped to stores nationwide.

The Vidalia Onion Committee has partnered with the Kentucky Derby again this year, creating several dishes that highlight the crop in celebration of its southern legacy.
