Moving to the Beach Salad

Denis and I moved from a small 3-bedroom house to a tiny beach apartment a few months back and during that stressful packing time, I made this recipe everyday. I was making sure to empty my refrigerator so that I could clean it before returning the house, so we had very little fresh food left.

Pickled Onions

When I was growing up, my grandfather used to make these pickled onions once a year. He would make about 1 two-gallon-size jar of these and share with the entire family.
