This delightful homemade salad dressing is a favorite in my household, particularly loved by my husband as it brings back nostalgic memories of his childhood on a farm in Quebec.

Instructions:

1. 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.

2. Add the Vinegar:
   Gradually stir in the cider vinegar. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, and you achieve a smooth, emulsified dressing.

3. 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.

4. 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.
