How to Make Banana Salad Dressing

  1. 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.
  2. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk while stirring constantly.
  3. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and comes to a gentle boil (about 8-10 minutes).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup of mashed ripe banana.
  5. 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.

  7. Spoon the chilled dressing generously over the bananas.
  8. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts or pecans (optional).
