We all have our favorite dressing for salad. I tend toward the creamy dressings. This Creamy French Dressing is not really French at all but popular in American households for many years. Typical to what you might find in a diner or restaurant, it is inexpensive using staples you probably have in the pantry and so much better than store bought. It is easy to make and keeps well in the fridge.Grateful Prayer Thankful Heart is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites.

This sounds good. I don't know why I've never tried to make my own dressing.
I used to make something similar when we lived up north except I used something I think was called Chili sauce rather than catsup. With mayo and not much else. We called it Russian dressing which is similar to Thousand Island Dressing which your French dressing resembles in its "creamy" state.
There is just something about homemade dressing that can't be matched. Thanks for the recipe.
