add sugar to boiling hot water you want it to dissolve, i would say about 1/4 water to 1 tablespoon sugar then add 2 tablespoons vinegar, and taste does it need more or less

I don't use vinegar at all, Lite and Free Italian dressing is very very nice.

My mother always used malt vinegar but I use a variety. I usually dilute them by trial ans error. I find malt needs more diluting than some of the others.

But yues, try adding mint, sugar or different types of vinegar. Such a nice refreshing salad.
