Salad dressings are mainly composed of vegetable oil, egg yolks, vinegar, and salt. Common flavors include mayonnaise, French mustard, and Thousand Island dressing. Below are the basic steps for making different types of salad dressings:
Mayonnaise: The main ingredients are vegetable oil, egg yolks, and lemon juice/white vinegar. Crack the egg yolks, add a suitable amount of salt and lemon juice, mix well, and then slowly drip in the vegetable oil while stirring, until a thick mayonnaise sauce is formed.
