Mom's French Salad Dressing Recipe
This is a salad dressing my Mom made for our family when I was a kid growing up in Nebraska. My brother loved the stuff. There is one very similar posted on CES but I thought I would post my Mom's as well. I don't know where she got the recipe; perhaps from an old 1950's cookbook or from a newspaper. It keeps well refrigerated. It isn't necessary to emulsify the oil but it makes for a creamy texture. It may seperate a bit in the refrigerator. If so shake well to combine ingredients again.
Ingredients
- 2/3 Cup Cider Vinegar
- 1/4 Cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Dry Mustard
- 2 Cloves Garlic, crushed
- 1/4 Cup Ketchup
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- Salt/Pepper to taste
- 2 Cup Canola Oil
Directions
- Combine all ingredients except the Canola Oil in a blender and puree until completely combined and very smooth.
- Gradually in a slow steady stream add the Canola Oil until the mixture is completely emulsified and a thick creamy texture.

- March 4, 2012Hi,
Am making this tomorrow night. Has a lot less sugar than my go-to recipe. 
January 24, 2012Adding this to my try soon list too, Bob. I haven't made this sort of sweet french dressing before. I like this sort of dressing on a traditional spinach salad.
