Ingredients
- 4 egg yolks
- 4 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 2 tablespoons white sugar
- ¾ teaspoon prepared mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 16 large marshmallows, halved
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Instructions
- On top of a double boiler, beat together the egg yolks, vinegar, sugar, mustard and salt. Cook over medium heat until mixture becomes thick. Remove from heat. Add the marshmallows to the mixture and stir until dissolved.
- Whip 1/2 pint of the whipping cream until soft peaks form, and then fold it into the cooked ingredients. If mixture is too thick, thin it by adding a little cream or fruit juice. Add to your favorite fruit salad and use enough dressing to make it the consistency you desire.
- Store dressing, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for a week or so.

My fruit salad dressing is exactly like this except we don’t add mustard.
I made it and the taste was different and good. The texture was not what I was looking for. If I make it again I will not refrigerate it first and immediately serve it in the salad.
I was so intrigued by the different ingredients in this that I had to give it a try. It definitely would fall into a “non-traditional” category. Glad I tried it, and I may make again, but can’t say that it’s my favorite dressing for fruit salad (DH and I were in agreement on that).
Wow! My tastes must sure be different, because I didn’t care for this at all. All I could taste was vinegary mustard. I won’t be making this again.
Wonderfully different dressing recipe. If you’re tired of the same old yogurt, mayo, or whipping cream dressings, you have to try this! Great recipe, Sheila!
I have been looking for this receipe for years. My dear neighbor used to make it, but I didn’t get her receipe before she passed away. I knew the ingrediates but not how to put it together. THANK YOU, my husband and brother ask for it every Thanksgiving & Christmas. They always fuss because I didn’t make it more often. Now that I have the directions again, I WILL!!! THANKS AGAIN!!
This is a wonderful dressing for fruit salad. A real change from yogert or mayo. We found it to be delicious.
This is absolutly delicious. All my friends beg me for the recipe. I’ts true, it is like no one else’s and it is great! Makes my fruit salad extra special.
