I liked this, I used cider vinegar because I didn't have white. I grew up eating cukes and onions with Good Seasons Italian dressing so this was different for me. I just ate the leftovers here on day 2 and it was better. Yum. -
These are pretty good ...never had them with sugar before. I like it better without...I guess it's just what you growup with. Thanks anyway.:) -
My mom made this, too! She always use Apple cider Vinegar, water, sugar, and salt. I grew up to start using red wine vinegar with salt, pepper, and garlic. I put carrots in, too. It's so versatile and cheap! -
Jazz it up by using applecidar vinegar

My Mom also added garden tomato wedges. Both ways are delicious!

sliced onions and peeled garlic cloves also helps with the flavor...red onions sliced thin is what I use..

My wife added just a touch of salt to enhance the flavors.

We recently moved to Arizona and are enjoying the heat! I have 4 beautiful children, one teenage daughter and three sons. I have always loved to cook, but since finding this site, my husband says "boy has your cooking come a long way!" I had no idea it needed to :) These recipes have added the variety and versatility that I need to try to meet the challenge of feeding four kids on a budget with healthy foods :)
