The Great
New Zealand
Salad Dressing

This is the salad dressing New Zealand's baby boomers were raised on, be it lettuce salad, potato salad, or coleslaw; and the same recipe is still printed on the label of the Highlander Sweetened Condensed Milk can. These days it goes down well for its novelty value, and at least one of Charlie's mates is a great fan. I know this because the jar joins Charlie's mess left behind on the sink bench whenever he's visiting. Keeps well in the fridge in a sealed container.

1. Blend all ingredients. Leave for a few minutes and watch it thicken up.

2. Nice refrigerated for an hour or two before use. Will keep in the fridge for a few weeks in a sealed container.

(If you're really decadent, you'll make a half quantity and use the rest of the condensed milk, a tablespoon at a time, in your instant coffee. If my taste memory is to be relied on, this was the coffee they used to serve in railway cups at the Civic Theatre Lunch Bar in Auckland in the late fifties/early sixties for 9d when espresso was 1s3d everywhere else. You could also buy a mean savoury mince brown bread sandwich very reasonably at the same place. Useful student knowledge.)
