The recipe didn’t work for me as written. I don’t like the texture of onions. But I found the solution with onion salt, reducing the plain salt by half. I enjoyed it so much more. I am usually a bit generous with the white vinegar, as I love tartness. For my grandma’s birthday, I remember her by making this with some sour cream. It’s a celebration, not a day to diet!
