A creamy, tangy potato salad dressing with a sweet and savory flavor profile, ideal for summer gatherings and family meals, combining vinegar, mustard, and sweetened milk.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Put vinegar, water, sugar, and beaten egg in a saucepan.
- Stir the mixture, bring to a boil, then add salad dressing, mustard, and milk.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a bit more salad dressing or using a mayonnaise base instead. If you prefer a tangier flavor, try substituting apple cider vinegar for the regular vinegar. Also, whisk the egg well to ensure it blends smoothly into the dressing, avoiding any clumps. This dressing is versatile and can be adapted to fit vegetarian recipes by omitting the egg if desired.
Serving Suggestions
This potato salad dressing pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables or grilled meats, enhancing their flavors. Consider serving it over a bed of mixed greens for a fresh salad option, or alongside classic dishes like fried chicken or barbecue ribs. It's also a great addition to a 'Try-And-Guess' Salad-Theresa Shea for a unique twist.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover potato salad dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Before using, give it a good stir as it may separate over time. You can also freeze the dressing for up to a month, but be aware that the texture may change upon thawing. Reheat gently on the stove, stirring constantly to maintain consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dressing ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare this dressing a day in advance. Storing it in the refrigerator allows the flavors to meld together, enhancing the overall taste. Just remember to give it a good stir before serving as it may separate slightly while stored.
What types of potatoes work best for this salad?
Waxy potatoes like red or new potatoes are ideal for potato salad as they hold their shape well during cooking. However, if you prefer a creamier texture, Yukon Gold potatoes are also an excellent choice. Just make sure to cook them until fork-tender for the best results.
Is this dressing suitable for vegan diets?
This dressing contains egg and milk, which are not suitable for vegan diets. To make a vegan version, consider replacing the egg with a flaxseed meal mixture and using a plant-based milk alternative. This allows you to enjoy the flavor without compromising dietary restrictions.
