When I added it, the whole bath was sour. The correct amount might be 1/2 a teaspoon.LikeLike lisarenee July 15, 2021 at 5:15 pm · · Reply → I’m sorry you thought it was too sour, but the posted recipe is correct. The dressing is thin, but once it’s combined with the noodles and refrigerated for a while the noodles soak up the dressing. You may have seen other recipes call for 1/4 cup of vinegar but that’s for only 1/2 lb of noodles whereas this recipe uses the whole box.LikeLike amanda burnette April 13, 2024 at 5:30 pm · · Reply → what kinda of mayo do you use?LikeLike lisarenee April 13, 2024 at 6:27 pm · · Reply → I use Kraft Olive Oil MayoLikeLike
