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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh fruit. Fresh fruit is always best for fruit salad, as it has the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh fruit, frozen fruit can be used as a substitute.
  • Choose a variety of fruits. The more variety of fruits you use, the more flavorful your fruit salad will be. Some good choices include berries, melons, citrus fruits, and tropical fruits.
  • Cut the fruit into bite-sized pieces. This will make it easier to eat and will help the dressing to evenly coat the fruit.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time. This will give the flavors time to meld together and will make it easier to assemble the fruit salad.
  • Chill the fruit salad before serving. This will help to keep the fruit fresh and crisp.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned fruit salad is a classic summer dish that is easy to make and always a hit. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, it's a perfect way to enjoy the bounty of the season. Whether you're serving it at a picnic, potluck, or just a backyard barbecue, this fruit salad is sure to be a hit.
