Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix mayonnaise and sugar until well combined.
- Gradually add milk while stirring until the mixture is smooth.
- Adjust sugar and vinegar to taste, then serve.
Tips & Substitutions
For a tangier dressing, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a healthier option. If you prefer a sweeter dressing, increase the sugar slightly. You can also substitute regular milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version. To enhance flavor, add a dash of garlic powder or onion powder. This dressing works well drizzled over salads or alongside dishes like Cinnamon Apple Waffles.
Serving Suggestions
This white dressing is perfect for drizzling over fresh salads, particularly those featuring crisp greens and roasted vegetables. It also pairs beautifully with Cheesy Carrot Bake Vegetable Dish or as a dip for fresh vegetable sticks. For a delightful brunch, serve alongside Quick And Easy Breadsticks to complement your meal. Adjust the seasoning to match your personal taste preferences.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. The flavors will continue to meld over time, making it even tastier. If the dressing thickens, simply stir in a small amount of milk to reach your desired consistency before serving. Avoid freezing, as it may alter the texture.
