Onion Ring Special
Over
the years I have collected many recipes from friends and family...and
whenever I prepare that particular dish I am always reminded of the one
from whom it came. Today's recipe is a prime example. My Aunt Kay
e-mailed this recipe to me one summer...thinking it might be something
we would enjoy. And we do! Two years ago this month my aunt passed
away. I have many good memories of her...and this salad always brings
her to mind. If you love the fresh produce of summer..then here is a
side dish of multi-coloured bell peppers and onions that most easy to
prepare ahead and have on hand in the fridge. So...if you have a peck
of peppers that need picking...here's a recipe for you!
- 1 large sweet onion, sliced in rings (like Walla Walla)
- 1 red pepper, sliced in rings
- 1 green pepper, sliced in rings
- 1 yellow pepper, sliced in rings
- 1 orange pepper, sliced in rings
- 1 1/3 cups sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 1/3 cups white vinegar
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons oil
- Thinly slice all the vegetables and place in large salad bowl with a lid.
- Combine sugar, salt, vinegar, water and oil in a saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar.
- Pour over veggies.
- Cover and chill for at least 24 hours.
- Serve as a salad or a meat condiment.
