Dressing for Broccoli Salad - 08/10/2010 11:15 AM
I tasted a broccoli salad recently that was not made with mayo. The dressing was made with evaporated milk and it was really tasty. Does anyone happen to have this recipe? I don't know what any of the other ingredients are.

Evaporated Milk Dressing
This is especially good on cabbage slaw or broccoli slaw.
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup vinegar
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
Add sugar to vinegar and stir until sugar has dissolved. Beat in milk until mixture thickens. To use for slaw, pour over slaw. Use a fork to blend dressing through shredded cabbage or matchstick broccoli.

Though this has mayo in it (skinny cooks can't be trusted!), if you've never had this salad, you're in for a treat!!!
Broccoli/Craisin Salad
Dressing:
1 cup mayo
1/2 cup sugar
2 T. apple cider vinegar
Mix in small bowl or jar. Best if made a few hours ahead or even the night before, however, it's pretty darn tasty if made even an half hour ahead.
Salad:
2 lbs. broccoli florets (or two small bags of Broccoli Wokly-can be found at Ralph's)
1 6-oz. bag of craisins (Cherry Flavored or Original)
1 lb. bacon, crumbled
1/2-1 cup diced red onion
Mix with dressing just before serving.

Looks good! Has three of my favorite things in it--broccoli, bacon and onion! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

I wonder if you could sub Splenda for the sugar with decent results....might try that soon.

If you try this, please post your opinion on the results. I used raw sugar and it was great.

I am also wondering how it would be with nonfat evaporated milk.

I haven't tried it with this recipe, but anytime I have substituted nonfat evaporated milk in any other recipe, it's been awful!
