This recipe is nearly identical to my mothers recipe. We used baby corn on the cob, and insead of cider vinegar we used garlic red wine vinegar. Baby pearl onion rings are nice too! This bottom of the bowl extras make a great topper for a mixed green salad the next day! [email protected]!

I made this recipe for a picnic, and it really was a hit. I had a few people ask me for the recipe they said it was so tastey and they wanted to make it themselves.
