Distilled white vinegar can be used in many ways. It is a key component in homemade salad dressings, providing a necessary acidic balance to rich ingredients. It is also excellent for pickling vegetables, helping to preserve them and impart a crisp, tangy flavor. In cooking, it can tenderize meats when used in marinades. It can also be used to remove odors.
