This is absolutely one of my favorite recipes that my German born mom used to make (with chopped onions). The sugar in essential to get the balance of flavor.

Like Mamma used to make! Similar to the dressing The Magic Pan resturant used to serve on their Spinach Salad in the 1980's. Delicious and recommended!
