I love sweet pickles in my potato salad but they are purposefully missing in this recipe. Instead I quickly pickled some shredded and cubed veggies with seasoned rice vinegar. It was such a fun and different way to enjoy one of my all-time favorite side dishes….the beloved potato salad.
Pickled veggies adorn my sandwiches too, they are so great to have around. Just pour seasoned rice vinegar over veggies in a mason jar and keep in the fridge (they last forever). You will always have them to brighten up any sandwich or dish of your choosing.
This potato salad had lots of crunch and flavor, not to mention a bunch of pretty colors mixed in, just look at it! I highly suggest it for all of your summertime get-togethers.
Here are my veggies pickling away. A super-simple process you can do all the time.
Summer is almost here!!

This sounds great! I love the contrast of textures along with the flavor of pickling.
You might like pasta salad made with giadiniera as well.
Thank you

Could rice wine vinegar be substituted for the seasoned vinegar?
Cathy says
No, it is a completely different taste. Seasoned is sweet, unseasoned is sour.

I just found your site with that marvelous chocolate cake for my 12 yr old grandson. He loved it, he loves milk chocolate. My family gave me nice compliments on it. I just love your site and your Pig Pen, travel is great. Look forward to your blogs and excellent recipes. I’ve lived in Portland, Oregon last 13 yrs. I’m from So Calif. I do love all places to visit here, but miss tons of sunshine. Don’t miss traffic or cost of living.
Love your site and your great imagination putting it together, very good job. My daughter liked it too in Las Vegas, NV. Katherine in Portland
