Cooked Salad Dressing

Who knew that cooked salad dressing was a thing!

I have made salad dressing before, but I have never heard of a cooked one. With this foray into MidCentury cooking I have discovered several cooked salad dressing recipes.

The dressing is very smooth and creamy even before adding the whipped cream.

It does have a tart taste due to the vinegar. But not too tart.

Adding the whipped cream gives the dressing a thicker feel. This allows it to stick to whatever you are serving it over.

Really lovely dressing!
