Yield: 1 cup

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup lemon juice 🍋
  • 3 tablespoons sugar 🍭
  • 1 large egg 🥚

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small saucepan, mix together the lemon juice, sugar, and egg. Stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure the sugar is well incorporated.

  2. Heat Mixture: Place the saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly as it heats, making sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan or form lumps.

  3. Cook and Thicken: Continue stirring until the mixture begins to boil. Allow it to cook and stir for about 1 minute, or until it thickens to a desirable consistency.

  4. Strain: Remove the saucepan from the heat and pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl. This step ensures a smooth texture by removing any possible curdles or lumps.

  5. Cool and Chill: Let the dressing cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate until it’s well chilled.

  6. Serve: Once chilled, drizzle this citrusy dressing over your favorite fresh fruit salad, and enjoy the refreshing burst of flavor.
