Thick and Mayo Like

This dressing is so thick! I wasn’t expecting that. . .

I made this dressing for the Vitamin Salad - that recipe is tomorrow’s recipe!

I was expecting a thinner, pourable dressing. Like a traditional salad dressing.

It is not that.

The dressing is super thick, almost like mayonnaise in consistency.

It does have a lovely flavor. I used vinegar, so there is definitely some tang to the dressing.

The paprika gives the dressing a little color as does the dry mustard. They also give the dressing a distinct flavor.

The egg yolks thicken the dressing even more.

It reminded me of a Cole slaw dressing. It certainly has the tartness from the vinegar and the sweetness from the sugar.
