Mel’s Diner’s House Dressing

Erma dear, I have a recipe from Mel at the Diner that you would actually approve of, and under the right conditions, such as entertaining all the Royals from Buckingham Palace, use. Why, even Paris Hilton and the jailed celebrities in Hollywood would drizzle some of this over their lettuce salads. Mel sometimes uses this in place of plain mayonnaise in making Macaroni Salad.

No, it is not from Mel’s Navy cooking days, so it is quite suitable for you. Mel got this one from another restaurant owner, and it is so popular that Mel makes it by the gallon. You can even buy it in pint or quart jars at the Diner, and plenty of people do.

Mel’s Diner’s House Dressing:

64 ounces of sour cream
4 quarts of mayonnaise
5 quarts of buttermilk
3 pounds Parmesan cheese
1 cup of green onions
3 tablespoons of minced garlic
1 cup of Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons of ground mustard (dry kind)
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon black pepper

Grate the Parmesan cheese with a cheese grater. In a large soup pot use a large stirring spoon and blend all the ingredients. Store in a gallon glass jars if you have them, or large storage containers with lids. This will last a good week in the refrigerator. Since this makes three gallons, plan on cutting the recipe down to a manageable size or having a BIG party.
