French Dressing

[OlAlabama]

As a kid French was my go to dressing. Gettin older it got harder and harder to find, and today nuthin compairs to the old stuff. Anyways here's one I make. It's not exactly right. Too sweet and not much tang... otherwise good. Could just cut the amount of sugar? But wanted to leave it as I make it and My thinkin is we could put our minds togeather and come out with somethin real special.

INGREDIENTS:
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
1 cup ketchup
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup vinegar
1 small onion, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a blender or food processor, blend all ingredients until smooth. Store in the refrigerator.

Sounds good....Momma used to make some a long time ago and used some Mayo. I guess that was in place of Olive oil.

yeah, that will just make it more creamy is all. Probably taste better as well, with mayo.

I will make this one again! Turned out purty good. My son said "daddy, this is the best ever. I want to have this kind forever. It's better than the white (ranch) kind." Success!

It's the one I use at home and also serve my guests. I haven't had any complaints and even the wife likes it.

Give it a shot. It only take you a couple of minutes to make.

I'll try it out.

I'll try it out.

Bear in mind that my kid is 4.

All in all it was purty good i thought. I like it better than the store bought.

French Dressing..... did it run cowardly off the plate?

It tried too... then bravely moved directly into my belly. The rest is history.

Huntfish, I finally tried your recipe. Hate to admit I had to run out a my Krafts first. Well it was good but too sweet and to much garlic for me so I added another half helping of your ingredients w/out the sugar, plus a little paprika stolen from BBQboss. It's FINE, FINE, FINE. I'm sittin in high cotton right now, if ya know what I mean. APPRECIATE IT. Wayne
