MARTY'S SALAD From the Buggy Works Restaurant Source: Gloria Pitzer. Aug. 1999
SWEET AND SOUR SALAD DRESSING: 1 (14 oz.) can Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk 1 cup Karo corn syrup 1/2 c. white vinegar 1 1/2 cup Miracle Whip Salad Dressing 1/4 lb. (1 stick) margarine, sliced into small pieces
In top of double boiler, over simmering water, combine all ingredients with a wire whisk til margarine is melted completely. Let cook over simmering water 30 minutes (set your timer), stirring occasionally. Put mixture through blender on high speed just a few seconds to combine and cool before refrigerating tightly covered. Refrigerate several hours before using. Note: if dressing becomes too thick, thin with a little hot water.(makes 1 1/2 quarts).
To use the dressing like the restaurant serves it, toss together lightly in a large bowl: 1/2 head iceberg lettuce torn into bite sized pieces, 2 c. endive lettuce torn also, 1/2 c. very thinly sliced red onion, 1/3 c. Hormel Real Bacon Bits, 1 pck. (4 oz.) Kraft's finely shredded Cheddar cheese. Apply enough dressing to lightly but evenly moisten the greens in the above mixture. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Divide between 3-4 salad dishes. Serve additional dressing on the side. |
