This is a classic American favorite! Tart and flavorful, especially loved in the South. Great paired with a light summer salad. Adapted from The Everything Vegetable Cookbook by Jay Weinstein, a professional chef and radio personality. He is the commentator for National Public Radio and is now a nationally acclaimed food writer. Enjoy!
