Author Notes
this was my mom's recipe and I'm certain she learned it from her mom. It's a hit with everyone I know and always better if it marinates a few hours in the fridge. Note- I rarely measure these ingredients so you may need to adjust to taste. We like it with more vinegar than most and as it marinates you may need to taste and add more of one or more ingredients. Enjoy! —Holly
