An old-fashioned boiled dressing, this recipe has been passed down in my family and is perfect for tuna and potato salad. We used to make it in a double boiler, but with a microwave, the process is now much simpler!
Ingredients
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup liquid (2/3 vinegar and 1/3 water)
- 1 tbsp butter (optional)
- 1 egg
Directions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, mix all the dry ingredients, making sure the mustard is free of lumps.
- Beat in the egg and liquid until smooth.
- Microwave on medium for 3 minutes, then whisk. Microwave for another 2 minutes, whisk again.
- Once the dressing reaches your desired consistency (be careful not to overcook), you can add the optional butter, though it’s no longer necessary if you prefer.
- Chill and serve with tuna salad or potato salad. Enjoy!
