Question: Is okay as leftovers? I would hate to make 6 servings for myself and have 5 of them be ruined!

I am familiar with this recipe and have made it before. The version I use is a Pennsylvania Dutch one where you balance sweet with sour. I would put in 1 1/2 tsp sugar AND 1 1/2 tsp vinegar to get the sweet & sour effect. Also, I've never heard of using pickled peppers in it but I am used to the traditional version. It's a nice, light, cooling salad to go along with something that has more of a kick. Tastes like summer to me!
