SALAD DRESSING (Excellent) (I)

Origin: London, England

Source: Isabella Beeton, 1861

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Put the mixed mustard into a salad-bowl with the sugar, and add the oil drop by drop, carefully stirring and mixing all these ingredients well together.
  2. Proceed in this manner with the milk and vinegar, which must be added very _gradually_, or the sauce will curdle.
  3. Put in the seasoning, when the mixture will be ready for use.
  4. If this dressing is properly made, it will have a soft creamy appearance, and will be found very delicious with crab, or cold fried fish (the latter cut into dice), as well as with salads.
  5. In mixing salad dressings, the ingredients cannot be added _too gradually_, or _stirred too much_.
