There is a custom not to use vinegar or other spicy/sharp foods on Rosh Hashanah such as garlic, horseradish, etc. Therefore, when preparing for Rosh Hashanah (it is a great salad any time of the year!) simply omit the vinegar, and the recipe still comes out delicious.

Is there a substitute for vinegar in the dressing? I recall hearing something about not using vinegar on Rosh Hashana
