This recipe is taken from the 2004 Milk Calendar. This is one of those recipes you'll pass on to a friend. This dressing is much lighter and fresh tasting than most sandwich salads, making this a great sandwich for lunch or dinner as it includes all four food groups.

Preheat barbecue to medium-high or oven broiler.

In bowl, whisk milk with mayonnaise, garlic, sugar, chili powder, lime rind, salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in vinegar and lime juice. Let stand for at least 10 min or until thickened.
