Ingredients
½ cup evaporated skim milk
6 fluid ounces frozen orange-pineapple juice concentrate, thawed
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning.
Pour the evaporated skim milk and thawed orange-pineapple juice concentrate into a clean glass jar or mixing bowl.
Add the ground nutmeg to the mixture.
Whisk or stir the ingredients together until well combined.
Transfer to a lidded container if not serving immediately. Shake or stir well before each use, as the dressing may separate during storage. Keep refrigerated and use within one week.
Comments
This is a smart salad dressing for quantity cooking—cheap, fast, and genuinely available everywhere: evaporated skim milk, orange-pineapple concentrate, and nutmeg are all standard at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, and Walmart. The five-minute time is honest; there is no prep beyond whisking. At roughly $0.15–$0.20 per serving (assuming a basic 1:1:pinch ratio), it costs less than bottled dressing. The only question is whether it tastes good enough to repeat, and whether someone actually wants a sweet-and-tangy dairy dressing on their salad—that's a household call, not an availability one.
