Fruit Salad Dressing

1 can of Eagle Brand Condensed Milk
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg beaten
1 tsp mustard
1/2 cup vinegar

Add all together and beat with hand mixer until well blended.
REfrigerate to thicken. Just before meal, peel and dice up fruit.
I put apples, bananas, one orange. You can also add diced canned
pineapple. Grapes and cherries are also good plus give color~!
I just mix enough dressing to moisten fruit.
