Vegetables in a kachumbari salad (6)

I believe the answer is:

onions

(Other definitions for onions that I've seen before include "Such may make one weep" , "Tearful bulbs" , "Bulb vegetables" , "Pungent, edible bulbs" , "Tear-inducing edible bulbs" .)

I've seen this clue in The Washington Post.
