Long, long ago, before there was Best Food's, Hellman's or Miracle Whip, there was an "emulsion" made by farm wives. Only a little was made at a time due to the lack of refrigeration back then. While going thru junk in the farmhouse attic, I came across a box of old recipes. This is one of many interesting ones.
1 tsp. mustard
3 finger pinch pepper
3 finger pinch paprika
1 tsp. salt
1 finger pinch cayenne
1 1/2 cups salad oil (of choice) (I use way less oil)
1 egg yolk
4 tbs. vinegar (of choice)
Mix dry ingredients, add egg yolk and mix well. Add oil, a very little at a time at first then when an emulsion is made, add the oil and vinegar alternately.
I use canola oil and any type vinegar, depending on how the dressing is going to used.
On a farm, you know your eggs. Actually, you know your eggs parents and their parents...I have never come across salmonella or botulism, use raw eggs with caution tho!
