I kind of had an idea of what she'd prepare because she made me side foods before like carrots and onions marinated in vinegar.

The awards on the side of the bottle proved it: Name: Venigrette Contents: potatoes, pickles, sauerkraut, beans, beets, vinegar, & a little bit of veg. oil I absolutely loved the strong vinegar taste to this salad, I miss it: Name: Olivye Contents: potatoes, carrots, sausage, peas, eggs, pickles, sour creme & mayonaise, pepper & salt. This potato salad tasted like any other potato salad I've tasted except it was lightly flavored. I liked i
