1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 tablespoon oil

2 tablespoons vinegar
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, to taste

Heat oil in medium saucepan. Cook onion and celery over medium low heat for 5 minutes. Stir in remaining ingredients; mix well. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Member Tip :

Don't heat up your kitchen by boiling potatoes for your potato salad. Instead, try micro-waving them in their skin. They are so easy to peel when they're done, and easy to mash or cube too.

Concentrated Iced Tea

My family goes through alot of iced tea, so I make a double batch. One batch goes directly to the pitcher, and the second batch is kept undiluted in a sealed plastic bottle in the fridge. When the pitcher is empty I simply combine the concetrated tea with water for a fast pitcher of iced tea.
