Sweet Salad Dressing Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Sweet Salad Dressing Recipe, first rub smoothly together 2 tablespoonfuls of olive-oil or butter, 2/3 of a cupful of water, 2 tablespoonfuls of sugar, 1/4 teaspoonful of salt, and 1 dessertspoonful of corn flour. Let this boil for a moment or two over a fire, then add 2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. When cold, pour over the salads.

If a yellow color is desired, add the beaten yolk of an egg just as the dressing is removed from the fire, pouring it over the egg, a little at a time, stirring well. When the egg is used, a little less water and more lemon juice may be required.

This dressing is an especially good one to use on finely sliced apples, apples and celery, apples and ripe bananas, strawberries and bananas, and on pineapple and oranges. If the dressing is put on as soon as the fruit is sliced, the fruit will not turn dark.

By using a cup of strained stewed tomatoes in place of the water in this dressing, another palatable and very pretty dressing is made.
