Aunt Isse's Salad Dressing
"At family gatherings, it wasn't complete without my aunt's macaroni salad made with this delicious dressing. It provides a yummy alternative to the mayo or vinegar based dressings. I've also used this on potato salad and was asked to make the potato salad version for a friend's wedding reception! (Cook time is an estimate)"

This was a nice surprise. It is very tangy when first made, but does mellow upon standing. I reduced the recipe by half and used it on a macaroni salad. I used half a box of macaroni and had more than enough dressing to coat things nicely. I used dry powdered mustard and the dressing was a pretty pale yellow. I will use this recipe again. -
I made this with macaroni and used cider vinegar. I served it for dinner and it seemed a little too strong for my liking but had some the next day with lunch and it seemed to have tamed down. I think next time I'll try it with plain vinegar. Definitely refreshingly different from the traditional mayo/mustard salad. -
Yummy, easy to make and a very nice change from the usual dressing. I used it over Macaroni Salad and am planning on trying it on Cole Slaw or Broccoli Slaw -

Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
