I love how rustic and simple this recipe is...tomato and onion are such a classic combo, and the more onion the better in my world. This would go perfectly with a nice hamburger steak or any other type of steak while I'm thinking about. Ribeye...yum! I'm not sure I'll add the sugar when I make it, as I don't think it needs it and I'm trying to keep the sugar out of my diet.

Growing up, my parents made this all summer long. They also added pealed, thinly sliced cucumbers. to make it easier, they used an Italian salad dressing in a bottle. Thanks for the memories!

Having Mennonite relatives, I have eaten this dish many times, but I can not remember ever having it in the winter. I suppose you could try a jar or so and see what happens. Good luck to you.

Could this recipe be canned, without having to cook it? By that I mean just sealed in a water bath. Wouldn't the vinegar & salt act as preservatives?

When it comes to canning, I never take chances, especially with uncooked onions in the mix. Canning would remove the fresh quality of this dish, though. Tastes better refrigerated.
