When making a salad, the most crucial part is the salad dressing. The quality of the salad dressing determines the success or failure of the dish. The other steps are all very simple. For a fruit salad, you can cut fruits like apples, pears, watermelons, cantaloupes, honeydews, and bananas into cubes or chunks as much as possible; while for a vegetable salad, it's even simpler - just shred or cut vegetables such as carrots, cabbage, red cabbage, cucumbers, potatoes, and onions into thin strips or small pieces. The rest is about choosing the sauce.
Even though referred to as "lazy people," one must still have taste. Salad dressings can be roughly divided into two types: sweet ones, which are suitable for fruit salads; and salty ones, which are suitable for vegetable salads. Generally, the salad dressings sold in malls are sweet, and there are almost no salty ones available for purchase. This requires self-made preparation.
To make the salad dressing, use high-quality salad oil and fresh egg yolks. The approximate ratio is around 1:1, meaning that one pound of salad oil requires one or less than one egg yolk. When the whisk follows the salad oil being slowly poured into the container, stirring constantly either clockwise or counterclockwise, does the aroma rising make you think of what kind of salad you want to eat?
In the process of making the salty salad dressing for vegetable salads, you also need to add an appropriate amount of mustard oil, pepper powder, salt, and monosodium glutamate. For the sweet salad dressing used in fruit salads, you need to add condensed milk, butter, sugar, fresh lemon juice, and a little salt during the preparation process.
Once the salad dressing is ready, whether it's sweet or salty, whether it's for fruit or vegetables, just mix it yourself.
