Notes
The great thing, about this recipe is that it is naturally gluten-free since it focuses mainly on using vegetables and dairy products. However to make sure it stays gluten-free it's important to choose the kind of vinegar. Some vinegars, those made from grains that contain gluten can be a risk. For safety I recommend using certified gluten-free vinegars such as apple cider or white wine vinegar.
