German Dill Noodle Salad

Judy-Jude's Note:

This is a recipe that we adapted for our family. Be prepared because we often have to double this recipe! We enjoy this recipe cold or at room temperature, if there is any left! The original recipe did not saute the celery, however, we did not like the texture and cooking the celery, brought out the flavor with the onion and garlic. We added garlic, dill and cayenne because we felt the recipe was "missing" something. I like to use celery salt instead of regular salt because it also adds additional flavor. It is a favorite in our home and enjoyed by our friends and family. I hope you try this recipe and enjoy it as much as we do.

This was very good! It was different from most noodle side dishes, and could be adjusted in many different ways. Maybe adding some chopped red peppers with the celery and onions, for example. I used celery salt and 1 1/2 tsp dried dill. I'll be making it many more times. Thanks very much for posting, Judy!

This was fantastic. We couldn't stop eating it. There was so many wonderful flavors going through my taste buds. I loved the tang of the cider vinegar mixed with the salty taste of the bacon and all the spices. This was wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
