I assume the OP perhaps means salad dressings as they ask for ones with a vinegar base.

No no, not the dressings but the actual salads - I have now found a marinated carrot salad (says will keep a few weeks), a coleslaw type one and also a bean salad.Anyone else any recipes - it is for when family comes to visit and we are out a lot - handy to have a few salads 'ready'.....

Add with the drained veges to a large pan. Add 4 cups sugar 4cups white vinegar, 1tspn celery seed and 1 tspn tumeric and 1 tspn of mustard. Bring to boil, stir to dissolve sugar and remove pan from heat. can stir through can of kidney beans if like. place into jars(clean, heated in oven)lid, and allow to cool. store in the fridge for up to 6 weeks!very handy and very tasty!!

Me neither - I suppose lots of sugar and vinegar and you could keep anything.

I guess they are so vilely awful, that they need to last in the fridge for a month because no one will actually eat them.
Good tasting food will be gone in hours.
What would you eat such a 'salad' with anyway - bread or ice cream?

Not sure about a typo prawn_whiskas - fisher just posted a recipe called "Marge’s Curried Cucumber Pickle" which has 6 medium cucumbers, 3 ¼ cups white vinegar, 3 onions, 2 cups sugar, 3 red peppers .... and some more stuff ...
Seems that a lot of people think of salads or pickles as sweets nowadays?
Dressing: 1 & 1/4 cups of white vinegar 1/2 cup of water 1 cup of sugar 1 teaspoon celery seeds 1 & 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds 1 & 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
Bring to a boil, simmer 5 minutes Cool & poor over coleslaw. keeps for 14 days in an airtight container in the fridge. A firend who lives alone says it keeps and tastes just as good at 1 mnth.
It is a very yummy slaw. I also had trouble finding celery seeds, so substituted the seeds and salt with celery salt successfully.

I wonder if they think they are eating healthy as it's vegetables? LOL
