Honolulu Salad Dressing

 

Combine all Ingredients:

1 saltspoon salt (1 saltspoon = 1/4 teaspoon)

1 saltspoon mustard

1/2 saltspoon paprika

1/2 saltspoon black pepper

Juice of 1/2 lemon

1 Large spoon vinegar

4 large spoons oil

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire

1 teaspoon tomato catsup

chopped onion

a little sugar. 

* What is a salt spoon?

Clearly a very small amount, more than a pinch but not measurable as a teaspoon? It dates back to the 18th century and measures 1/4 teaspoon.  

*What is Honolulu Salad? 

It appears the ingredients are roughly:

 1 can (20 oz) pineapple chunks, drained 

1 can (15 oz) mandarin oranges, drained 

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

 1 cup miniature marshmallows 

 1/2 cup maraschino cherries, halved 

1 cup sour cream  

1/2 cup chopped macadamia nuts or walnuts (optional)
