Instructions:

Beat the Ingredients:
In a medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs, salt, mustard, and sugar together for a few minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly thickened. This forms the base of your dressing, combining the richness of eggs with the sharpness of mustard. -
Add the Vinegar:
Gradually stir in the cider vinegar. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, and you achieve a smooth, emulsified dressing. -
Refrigerate:
Once mixed, transfer the dressing to a jar or an airtight container. Allow it to sit in the fridge for at least a few hours, or overnight if possible. This cooling time is crucial as it helps the flavors meld together beautifully, creating a tangy yet smooth dressing. -
Enjoy and Store:
The dressing can be stored in the fridge for several weeks. Just give it a good shake or stir before using it on your salads to bring out that fresh, homemade taste.
This easy, no-fuss recipe is perfect for busy weeknights when you want to add a homemade touch to your salads without spending too much time in the kitchen. It’s also a versatile dressing that can be used as a marinade or even as a dipping sauce for veggies or grilled meats.
