The hospital says you combine 1/3 cup of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of dry mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons of onion juice, 2 teaspoons of celery seeds, 3 tablespoons of vinegar and 1/2 cup of salad oil. First measure your dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and add 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar. Next, add the salad oil and the rest of the vinegar drop by drop, using an electric beater to thicken the mixture. Then add the celery seeds.
