Creamy Mustard Vinaigrette

Many thanks to my sister-in-law in Tampa for this recipe.

3 Tablespoons champagne vinegar (I've used white balsamic)
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (1-2 cloves)
1 Tablespoon mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil

Mix all the ingredients except the olive oil. Slowly add the olive oil while whisking. Pour dressing into a cruet to store.

I like the Calavita champagne vinegar but when I wasn't able to find it at any of my local grocery stores I substituted white balsamic vinegar and it was delicious.

I've stored this in the refrigerator for a week. Just shake before pouring on the salad.

Grandma's Coleslaw Dressing

Thanks to Grandma Carlson for this delicious recipe!

1 1/2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons dry mustard
2 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup white vinegar
3 Tablespoons grated onion

Mix the above ingredients in the blender.

While blending add 1 cup of vegetable oil.

Add 2 cups of mayonnaise and blend until smooth.

The recipe can be halved. This dressing stores well in the refrigerator.

I add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of this dressing to my favorite coleslaw recipe of shredded cabbage, grated carrots, golden raisins, chopped pecans, and dried cranberries.
