About French salad dressing
Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
Kimberly Killebrew’s creamy French dressing uses mayonnaise and ketchup with a neutral-tasting oil and apple cider vinegar. This selection follows her granulated-sugar version.
A small yellow onion is roughly chopped. Sweet paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper join the other ingredients.
Everything is placed in a blender and puréed until smooth. The same vinegar can be increased for more tang, or the same sugar for more sweetness, according to taste.
The dressing is chilled for at least two hours before serving. The author describes this selected creamy French version as pale orange.
The smooth dressing is offered for leafy green salads. The author also suggests using it as a vegetable dip or a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
