How to Make Banana Salad Dressing
- In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup milk until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk while stirring constantly.
- Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil (about 8-10 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of mashed ripe banana.
- Pour the dressing into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap pressed directly onto the surface, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
- Before serving, quarter or slice bananas into individual serving dishes.
- Spoon the chilled dressing generously over the bananas.
- Sprinkle with chopped peanuts or pecans (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
