The sweet-and-sour dressing in this recipe is a nice change of pace from more traditional varieties. My nursing supervisor shared the recipe with me...and I'm glad she did!—Sue Dorrance, West Bend, Wisconsin Ingredients:

1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced |
6 green onions, chopped |

1 cup sugar |

1/4 cup canola oil |
1 jar (2 ounces) diced pimientos, drained |
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley |
2 teaspoons dijon mustard |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
