Thanks Tarnation. This is a good salad. I like the sweet-sour taste of the vinegar and sugar mix.

Sounds tasty.
What kind of vinegar do you use?
Offline
Generally white vinegar but apple cider works well, too.
That is a basic Pennsylvania Dutch "sweet and sour" dressing which can also be used with finely chopped cabbage for sweet & sour cole slaw or a potpourri of vegetables for chow-chow.

I used to try to figure out how they made the chow chow from the Dutch Days Supper in Jefferson. It had such a nice flavor. I think they may have used rice vinegar in theirs.
