Here’s a gem: In some families, this dish is called “cucumber bait.” Why? Because you use it to lure kids away from junk food. It works like a charm. Kids think they’re getting a treat, but really, they’re eating vegetables and fat. Devious parenting at its finest.
Another weird fact: People have strong opinions about the vinegar type. White vinegar is the classic. Apple cider vinegar is the hipster choice. Rice vinegar is the gentle soul. If you use balsamic, you are a monster. (I’m joking. But seriously, don’t. It’s too sweet.)
