About French dressing

French dressing is a salad dressing category whose formulation varies. Products sold under this name may differ in their oil, acid, seasoning, colour, thickness, and degree of sweetness; the name does not establish one fixed recipe.

It is typically used over salads or as a condiment. Depending on the formulation, it may be pourable or more viscous and may have a tangy, savoury, or sweet flavour. The label alone does not justify selecting a particular style or listing ingredients.
