raw egg

little nudgerlittle nudger
in September 2011 Moms

ok, so I know that raw egg is not good, and we are not supposed to eat it. I am having a dinner with friends, and I want to make my favorite salad, but it has raw egg in the dressing. I have had it a zillion times (so has my whole family) and we've never gotten sick from it. I buy fresh eggs only. Can I make it and have it just a little?

Has anyone gotten sick for real from eggs, or is it just a precaution? My midwife told me deli meat was ok, just make sure its fresh, and dont eat it every day.

Opinions?

    I know a lot of people would disagree but I would eat it. I have added the step of washing my eggs before I crack them and I only buy organic. I wash because I worry about cross contamination on the shell while in the store.

    The chances of you getting salmonella or something are slim, but it does happen. As long as the eggs are pasteurized, I would eat it.

    I probably wouldn't eat it, but I'm a little paranoid.  Could you just get egg-beaters?  They are pasteurized and generally safer.

    yes, i know someone that got really sick from eating raw cookie dough.  so for that reason alone, i wouldn't do it myself.

    I've eaten several dressings and sauces that have raw egg and baby and I are fine.  I would make sure it stays properly refrigerated and use fresh eggs, those kind of precautions, but I'd eat it.

    I did. I had salmonella when I was only a few years old. I eat a lot of raw eggs and have never gotten sick again but it's always a possibility.

    I wouldn't risk it.  Plus, if you are going to it should be on raw cookie dough :)

    I am 16 weeks preg and a chef. I had to do a tasting of fresh dressings that all had eggs in tem. I say one salad will be fine. But, you can buy liquid pastuerized yolks at the store, that's what I do at home.

    look into tempering your eggs (i think that's what it's called).  It gently heats the eggs to a safe temperature without cooking them, then it's safe to add to dressing.  I eat over easy eggs all the time though.  Your risks are much lower if you buy organic (local is even better).
