Awesome Sauce

I worked with a 96 year old woman this week. Her records say she is hard of hearing... but that's putting it mildly... the woman's deaf.

So when she told me to make her a salad for lunch I chose to bring her the dressings so she could point to one instead of yelling at her 50 times, "WHAT DRESSING DO YOU WANT?"

When I brought the dressings she said, "Oh no honey... that's all crap" (remember she is 96... that was funny) "I want you to make my dressing."

So she gave me directions on how to make what she wanted and I set off to work.


Equal parts Mayo and Honey Mustard dressing. Add some pickle juice, then sprinkle sugar on it.


Whip it all together.


Now for a little back story. There is a restaurant in Washington that my family LOVES. One of the main reasons why we LOVE this restaurant is because of the top secret, ridiculously awesome salad dressing. We know the owner and have offered all kind of bribes to get this recipe, but to no avail.

Back to my story:

After I made the dressing I thought: This looks just like Carl's dressing from Bonsi Wok.

So I tasted it: THIS TASTES JUST LIKE CARL'S DRESSING FROM BONSI WOK!!!!!!

That old lady I work for is right. All other salad dressings in the world are crap. And now that I know the secret I'm sharing it with you.

I must love you.

Very much.

P.S. I made a peach pie.

  1. Does it have to be sweet pickle juice or can it be dill pickle juice?

  3. So Christy, in answer to your question I would have to say....... I don't know. I'm still experimenting myself. The old Lady actually used bread and butter pickle juice. My plan was to use dill when I got home but all I had was sweet. I imagine the flavor would be different with dill but I need to taste it and see.
