Mustard Dressing(For Slaw)

Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together the beaten egg, sugar, prepared mustard, and vinegar in a saucepan.
- Cook over a slow fire until the mixture thickens.
- Mix the thickened dressing with the prepared slaw.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a tablespoon of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt to the dressing. If you prefer a tangier flavor, use apple cider vinegar instead of regular vinegar. You can also substitute honey for sugar for a natural sweetness. Ensure you stir continuously while cooking to prevent the egg from scrambling, which can happen if the heat is too high.
Serving Suggestions
This mustard dressing pairs beautifully with slaw, providing a zesty kick that complements the crunch of cabbage and carrots. For a complete meal, serve it alongside grilled meats or seafood. It also works well drizzled over roasted vegetables or as a dip for fresh veggies, offering a versatile addition to your dining table.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover mustard dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. When ready to use, give it a good stir as it may separate. Avoid reheating the dressing, as it is best served cold or at room temperature over slaw or salads.
