Best Easy Microwave Salad Dressing Recipes
OLD FASHIONED BOILED SALAD DRESSING
This is my grandmother's recipe for the salad dressing she used instead of mayonaise. (I never tasted mayo until I was a teenager). We used it in pasta salads, egg and tuna salads and sandwiches. I still don't eat BLTs without the tang of this dressing. Grandma made hers on the stovetop and had to stir constantly to avoid scorching. I now do mine in the microwave and no longer have to worry about that.

Steps:
- Mix all dry ingredients in a microwave safe bowl, making sure lumps are out of the mustard.

- When dressing is the consistency you like (don't overcook it), you can add the optional butter, but I no longer do.
