German Salad Dressing With Evaporated Milk Recipe

Try this easy german grandma's salad dressing (oma's salatsauce) recipe. After world wars i and ii, fresh dairy was hard to come by, so instead of half-and-half or heavy cream, oma (german for "Grandma") used evaporated milk. This history of evaporated and sweetened condensed milk will give you the backstory on canned milk. Since the ingredients are simple and the recipe is so easy to prepare, taking all of about 10 minutes, it might surprise you that this can be such a tasty way to dress a salad. My oma also passed down to me a recipe for fldlesuppe or broth with pancakes. This recipe fall into the category of german comfort foods. Comfort foods are those that may not always be trendy but, you have to admit, they are the ones that evoke deep, heartfelt memories, and the foods you turn to on a cold winter's night when you're snuggled before a fire with fuzzy house slippers on your feet.
