Freds Egg Yolk Salad Dressing Recipes

GRANDMA'S OLD FASHIONED BOILED DRESSING

Steps:

• In the bottom of a double boiler (medium saucepan) add 1" of water and turn the heat to medium.
• In the top bowl of the double boiler (glass bowl that can rest slightly in the saucepan but not touch the water) add the mustard powder, sugar, salt, flour and water. Whisk to combine.
• In a small bowl whisk together the egg yolks and vinegar. Pour that into the water mixture and whisk.
• Place the bowl on top of the double boiler and keep whisking until the mixture thickens and can coat the back of a spoon. 8-10 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the butter. Once the butter is incorporated, add in the cream, whisking to blend.
• Add in the celery seed and pepper. Taste for salt.
• Pour into a glass container and once, cool, cover and store in the fridge for up to one week.

GREEN SALAD VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, mustard, garlic, egg yolk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified.
• Place the greens in a serving bowl and toss them with enough dressing to moisten. Serve immediately.

FRED'S EGG-YOLK SALAD DRESSING

Steps:

• Mash the egg yolks (discard the egg whites - retain for a salad e.g. potato salad).
• Mix egg yolk with sugar, mayo and mustard.
• (If egg yolk is sticky rather than powdery and mixture becomes lumpy when mashed, push mixture through a sieve).
• Mix with cream or milk to desired consistency and season with salt and pepper to taste.
