Pickle Juice gives it a nice acidic hint of taste I particularly like potato salad with meats and chicken and fish, to give a delicious side dish that keeps well in the fridge and anyway, doesn’t last long. Most people love it and nobody snoots it as “leftovers” which for me is a win-win. It’s […]
So delicious, it should be illegal. This is a two-fer recipe.
