PREPARATION:

1. Trim bulbs (white part) from onions; reserve for another use. Trim remaining stems (green part) to 4-inch lengths.
2. Using sharp scissors, cut each section of green stems lengthwise into very thin strips down to beginning of stems, cutting six to eight strips in each stem section.
3. Fill large bowl about half full with cold water. Add green onions and ice cubes. Refrigerate until onions curl, about 1 hour; drain.
