Creamy French Dressing

By Lorraine

Creamy French Dressing is not really French at all but popular in American households for many years. Inexpensive and so much better than store bought.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.

When I was a little girl, we had a next-door neighbor that was like a mom to my mother and grandmother to me. She was proud of her Lithuanian heritage and an extraordinary cook. 
 
Mrs. Paul even helped me with my first 4-H cooking project and often sent over samples of her homemade foods. My favorite memory was of her pierogies that were filled with a pork mixture and unlike anything I have eaten since.

Mrs. Paul’s Creamy French Dressing

Mrs. Paul didn’t have a food processor and showed me how to make her French dressing in a bowl. You can make it that way too but it is a snap and totally blends all of the ingredients in a processor.

Yield: 2-1/2 cup (20 servings)

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

DIRECTIONS

Serve over salad. Refrigerate leftover dressing.

    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.
