What is the salad dressing used on salads in the European Alps?

Question

I was recently in the Bavarian Alps (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), all the restaurants we ate at had a similar salad dressing on their salads that was sort of like a ranch dressing, but not exactly.  What is this dressing or how is it made?

And you did not ask....

Here are a few possibilities:

German salad dressing

This dressing is great when added to tomatoes, cucumbers, waxed beans, or Boston Bibb lettuce. The following recipe is made to serve 3-4 people.

3 small cans un-sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. granulated plain sugar
2 tsp fresh black pepper
salt to taste
the amount of vinegar can be adjusted, depending on how acidic one may like their dressings.
This is my favorite on the boston Bibb lettuce. On the other salads, the dressing should marinate the vegetables for a short while.
