Yummy Dressing {A Recipe}

We called it “the mayonnaise-vinegar dressing” and it was “Dad’s recipe.”  And then he taught me how to make it: you dump a little of this and a bit of that and mix it together.

After he taught me, it was always my responsibility to make it whenever we needed some.  As I dumped and poured each time I made it, I came up with the proportions to guarantee success each time. (Although I confess that I mostly just dump and pour anyway!)

Now, it has almost become the go-to dressing (next to Ranch, that is!) for all sorts of things: grilled chicken salad, normal salad, taco salad, and burritos. (It is absolutely yummy on Mexican food!)  Anyway, I almost always have a dish of it in the fridge…and it stays good for…well…a long time!

Here’s what you do to make it:

Mix together equal portions of mayonnaise and sugar (i.e. 1/2 cup mayonnaise and 1/2 cup sugar.)
Add up to 1/2-portion of vinegar or to taste (i.e. up to 1/4 cup vinegar.) 

That’s it!

If you want, you can also add some celery seed and make it more of a coleslaw-style dressing.

Also, the vinegar and mayonnaise mixture will separate after it has been sitting for awhile. Just stir it and it will be like when you first made it.  

Enjoy!
