As far as I know I have never had Amish food! I’ve never been to Amish country! I’ve hardly let Louisiana!!! Boy, I need to get out more!

This does look good. I have had something similar before and it was great. Just need some good burgers and brats to go with it… Yumm…

Christy, thank you sooo much for this recipe. The first time I made it, even my youngest raved about it.

We recently went camping w/some friends & I decided to make this to take along. Well, as you know there’s always something you forgot at the store; I forgot white vinegar, so I used apple cider vinegar instead. Not only did my guys like it better (they like spicy/tangy), but our friends loved it as well. As a matter of fact, they kept the leftovers!

My mom and dad make this except we don’t call it fire and ice we call it cucumber and onions. They don’t put tomatoes in it! I don’t like raw onions so I just eat the cucumbers I looooooove it tho!

Two things:
1. I love the U.S. Space and Rocket Center! My class went there on a field trip when I was in the 6th grade.
2. I grew up in Atlanta, and now live in L.A., and I agree it’s so weird to walk into a drugstore and see shelves of hard liquor!! Granted, my Kroger at home always had a beer and wine section, but still!

I made this same salad when I was pregnant with my daughter. All. The. Time. Except I used balsamic vinigarette dressing for the marinade. I could have supported Paul Newmans favorite charity by myself for all the salad dressing I bought!

Your sugar/water/vinegar combo sounds intriguing. I may try it. Sadly, my family (esp hubby) doesn’t like cukes. He thinks I should make it with zucchini…blech. I do NOT think it would turn out the same at all!!

I read somewhere that you can tell how strong an onion will be by its SHAPE. A flatter onion will be milder than a round one or one that is tall and thin. I’m no scientist so I don’t know how reliable this is. Sweet Vidalias are usually flatter. I try to look for short, squatty onions in the store and I hardly ever get one that’s too hot/strong.

Oh, I love that too & make it all the time in the summer. The only difference is, I don’t add the sugar. I just do olive oil & balsamic vinegar for a tangy salad. It is SO good! We are growing our own tomatoes & they are starting to come in now. Love Summer!! Thanks for adding my button, you’re a doll.
