To Die For Swedish Mustard Sauce

Have you ever had a Gravalax salad with Swedish Mustard Sauce? OK - it will be all you need for lunch. You won't even need much of it because the flavors are so satisfactorily fabulous (did that make sense?) Swedish Mustard is used in Sandwiches and also over top of this salad, so use it as a salad dressing as well. I am sure you could keep it for a week in a container in your refrigerator, but please don't quote me. Find out where in your town you can get Gravalax....I bought mine at the IKEA grocery store as I've heard that it's the best. Then you get yourself some gorgeous mixed salad leaves, I love the organic mix with a small slice of Gravalax, then drizzle with mustard sauce. Geez, I nearly forgot. Garnish this salad with a little fresh dill. Please don't pull dill out of the pickle jar...go get some fresh dill at the grocery store. Also, please sip a glass of your favorite wine with this meal. You will feel like you've had an amazing lunch.

Swedish Mustard Sauce: 1/2 cup of dry mustard, 1/2 cup of sugar (I'm sure a low calorie sweetener would be good too), 1 tsp. of salt, pinch of white pepper, 2 tbsp. of white vinegar, 1/4 cup of boiling water, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil, 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Put all of the ingredients into a blender and blend for 1 minute. Scrape the sides with a rubber spatula or your hand(!) and process for 30 seconds longer. The mustard sauce should be a little thicker than heavy cream. Store in a glass jar, well sealed in the fridge and let sit for one day so that the flavors blend. You won't be disappointed.
