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.
