OLD FASHIONED BOILED SALAD DRESSING



Old Fashioned Boiled Salad Dressing image

This is my grandmother's recipe for the salad dressing she used instead of mayonaise. (I never tasted mayo until I was a teenager). We used it in pasta salads, egg and tuna salads and sandwiches. I still don't eat BLTs without the tang of this dressing. Grandma made hers on the stovetop and had to stir constantly to avoid scorching. I now do mine in the microwave and no longer have to worry about that.

BOILED DRESSING



Boiled Dressing image

Boiled Dressing is an old fashioned version of salad dressing. It was very popular before the introduction of commercially made mayonnaise, and was used to dress salads and vegetables as well as in deviled eggs, potato salad and coleslaw. I adapted this recipe from one in "The Gift of Southern Cooking" by Edna Lewis and Scott Peacock.

Time 15m

Yield 1 1/4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup cider vinegar

1 teaspoon colman's dry mustard
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

  • Put the egg yolks in a small mixing bowl and stir in the sugar, mustard, flour, cayenne, salt, and pepper.
  • Very slowly, pour the boiling vinegar/water into the egg yolk mixture, a small amount at a time, whisking well to make sure the vinegar/water mixture and the egg yolk mixture combine - you don't want the eggs to cook.
  • Pour the dressing back into the saucepan and cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until it thickens and begins to bubble.
  • Remove from the heat and add the butter, whisking until it is melted and absorbed into the dressing. Whisk in the cream and cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices will give your boiled salad dressing the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of crunch. Overcooked vegetables will make the dressing mushy.
  • Let the dressing cool completely: The dressing will thicken as it cools. If you use it warm, it will be too thin.
  • Taste the dressing and adjust the seasonings: You may want to add more salt, pepper, or vinegar to taste.
  • Serve the dressing immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use: The dressing will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned boiled salad dressing is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of salads, vegetables, and meats. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its simple ingredients and classic flavor, boiled salad dressing is a great way to add a touch of homemade goodness to your meals.
