Ready to elevate your greens and impress your taste buds? Let’s dive in and turn your salad routine into something truly delicious!

<h3>Ingredients You'll Need</h3>

To make this delicious homemade salad dressing, gather these ingredients:

• 1 egg (make sure it's a sterile, fresh egg)

• 30 grams of full-fat milk powder

• 30 grams of white sugar

• 2 grams of salt

• 5–10 grams of white vinegar or lemon juice (lemon juice gives a nice, aromatic touch)

• 250 grams of corn oil (use a neutral oil—no olive oil or peanut oil!)

These ingredients might look simple, but trust us, together they create a salad dressing that's creamy, flavorful, and perfect for all kinds of salads.

<h3>Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients</h3>

First, let's get everything ready. We'll be using a whole egg in this recipe, so make sure it's a fresh, sterile egg. This will give your dressing that creamy texture. The milk powder, sugar, and salt should be measured out and ready to go. You'll add them to your mixer first, before the oil.

<h3>Step 2: Mix Everything Except the Oil</h3>

In a mixing bowl, combine the milk powder, sugar, salt, and egg. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat the ingredients on a medium speed. Keep mixing until everything blends well together, and you'll notice it starts to thicken up slightly.

<h3>Step 3: Add the Oil Slowly</h3>

Now comes the most important part: adding the oil. This is where patience comes in. You need to add the oil very slowly, little by little, and keep mixing as you go. Each time you add oil, the mixture should thicken and become smoother. If it's too liquidy, keep beating until it thickens up. I recommend dividing the oil into about 7 or 8 portions to add gradually.

<h3>Step 4: Keep Mixing Until Smooth</h3>

Once all the oil has been added, keep mixing until the dressing becomes smooth and creamy. It should be thick enough that when you lift the mixer out, it leaves a trace behind. This is when you know it's ready! If the mixture seems too runny at any point, keep beating until it firms up.

<h3>Step 5: Taste and Adjust</h3>

This is your chance to adjust the flavors. If you want more tanginess, add a little more vinegar or lemon juice. You can also adjust the salt or sugar to fit your taste. Remember, this is your dressing, so feel free to make it perfect for your preferences!

<h3>Step 6: Store the Dressing</h3>

Once you're happy with your salad dressing, transfer it to a piping bag or an airtight container. Store it in the refrigerator, and it should last for up to 10 days. Just be sure to use it quickly, as there are no preservatives in this homemade version.

<h3>Tips for Success</h3>

• Always use a neutral oil like corn oil, as the flavor will blend seamlessly with the other ingredients. Avoid oils with strong flavors like olive oil or peanut oil, as they might overpower the dressing.

• Be patient when adding the oil—this is key to achieving the right texture. If you rush through it, the dressing might not thicken properly.

• If you're looking to make a larger batch, you can double or even triple the recipe. Just remember to keep the oil proportion in mind!

<h3>Conclusion: Enjoy Your Homemade Salad Dressing!</h3>

Now that you've made your own creamy, delicious salad dressing, the possibilities are endless! Use it for any salad, drizzle it over roasted veggies, or even as a dip for your favorite snacks.
