Ingredients

  • 1/2 c. Sugar
  • 1/2 c. Miracle Whip Salad Dressing, (not mayonaise)
  • 1 x Egg yolk lightly beaten
  • 3 Tbsp. White Vinegar
  • 6 med Bananas, sliced
  • 1/2 c. Minced salted peanuts Additional minced peanuts, of garnish, (optional)

Method

  • As requested by those attending the DC Qfest ....
  • The "Banana Salad"
  • My wife's recipe is simular to the one in Smoke & Spice, page 346. although she did not get hers from the book, it used to be her grandmothers.
  • Serves six.
  • In a small, heavy sauce pan, combine the sugar, egg yolk, and vinegar.
  • Hot over low heat, stirring constantly, till the sugar disolves and the mix thickens.
  • Remove the heat and fold in the Miracle Whip.
  • Combine the bananas and peanuts in a large bowl.
  • Spoon the dressing over the salad and mix well.
  • Top with additional peanuts if you wish.
  • The salad is best eaten within a couple of hrs.
  • My wife always makes up a big batch of dressing and uses what she wants for a given salad and stores the left over dressing in the refrigerator.
  • It will hold good for one or possibly two weeks.
  • If you can keep the kids out of it, it may last a day or possibly two.
  • When traveling she takes the dressing (in a cooler), nuts and bananas with her and mixes it up just before eating.
  • It take no time to make the salad.
  • Ummmmm good too.
