Simple, refreshing, and will last for a long time (but I bet you gobble it up before that). This is something my Grandma served up during most Sunday suppers. Sliced cucumbers and sweet onions in a home-made sweetened vinegar dressing. They’ll get marinated and a bit pickled and oh so tasty. Excellent for nibbling when the hunger or mood strikes.  And, the the calories are less than 80 cals a serving, so it hardly counts!     Red Pepper Dip w/ Celery! Home-made and delicious!
