How to Make Amish Cooked Salad Dressing

  1. In a small bowl, whisk 1 large egg with 1 tablespoon of water until light and frothy.
  2. Set aside the egg mixture.
  3. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until smooth.
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 cup water, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice until fully combined.
  5. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, for 1 minute until slightly thickened.
  6. Gently pour in the reserved egg mixture, whisking continuously. Continue to cook for about 1 minute more, or until the dressing reaches a creamy, mashed potato-like consistency and is pale off-white in color. (Do not boil).
  7. Remove from heat, cover the saucepan, and let cool completely to room temperature.
  8. Transfer the cooled dressing to an airtight jar or container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld before serving. This dressing will keep for up to a week in the refrigerator.
