Yummy! I really liked the addition of the celery. For health sake I just used about two teaspoons of sugar and it tasted great. I also cut back on the oil to about 1/2 cup and used about a tablespoon of sesame oil in addition. Instead of white vinegar, I used Bragg's Apple cider vinegar. It was very tasty. I liked the addition of the dry mustard. Thanks for sharing.

A great make-ahead picnic or pot luck salad. Keeps well and does stay crisp. I used white sweet onion and added one thinly sliced green pepper from my garden. I placed the vegetables in a large glass jar; poured the hot dressing on top; sealed the jar tightly and rolled it on its side on a hand towel to mix it well. Turn jar over and roll back and forth each day to keep ingredients mixed well. At serving time I drain the salad with a slotted spoon.

<p>I live in Canada our winters are far to long and cold. I like to try new recipes. I don't really have a favorite cookbook. I enjoy reading fiction, my friends,good conversation,gardening,and the great outdoors. Love to travel, by plane, boat or automobile. My pet peeves are inconsiderate drivers who stop on a main road holding up traffic. <br />I'd really enjoy spending some time camping IN THE SUMMER by a beach or go the caribbean in the winter-- to the beach at one of the all inclusive clubs they always have a lot of different foods to try.. <br /><br /><a href=http://www.amazingcounter.com><img src=http://c9.amazingcounters.com/counter.php?i=1862985&c=5589268 border=0 alt=HTML Counter /></a><a href=http://www.onlinecomputercoupons.com>Dell</a> <a href=http://www.onlinecomputercoupons.com/dell-server.htm>Server Computers</a></p>
