Adapted from one of the oldest cookbooks in my collection, Betty Crocker's Cookbook, this classic
salad dressing is easy to make and very flavorful. It is the perfect dressing for a wedge of lettuce salad.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes plus sit time Serving Size: 3/4 cup
- 1 hard-boiled egg
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (Duke's if you can find it)
- 1 tablespoon chili sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
|
- kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon Spanish queen olives, minced
- a few drops of cream, if necessary to thin the dressing

Place the egg in a small pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over medium heat then shut off
the burner. Cover and let sit 12 minutes. Drain in cold water and crack the egg slightly to allow the
cold water to get under the shell. Add ice and let sit 5 minutes. Peel, dry and wrap in plastic. Chill in
the refrigerator.
Whisk together the mayonnaise, chili sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper and salt and pepper in a small
bowl. Once mixed, stir in the minced chives and olives to combine. Chop the chilled egg and stir into the
dressing. Use cream to thin the dressing to desired consistency.
