7 Best Substitutes for Scallions

Fresh out of scallions? No worries. You can still add oniony flavor to your recipe with one of these 7 substitutes for scallions.

CHIVES

Fresh chives are a near-perfect substitute for raw green onions.

SHALLOTS

The mild, delicate flavor makes shallots a great substitute for raw or cooked scallions.

LEEKS

The white and light green parts of leeks are an excellent substitute for a green onion garnish.

ONIONS

Red onion is a great swap for raw scallions. Sweet onions work well in many cooked dishes.

SPRING ONIONS

Use the green part just as you would scallions. The bulbs may have a stronger flavor, so you may use a little less.

RAMPS

If you can find them, you can use every part of ramps, from leaves to bulbs, as an equal substitute for scallions.

ONION POWDER

If you're making a soup, stew, dip, sauce, or dressing that really needs onion flavor, onion powder will do in a pinch.
