Tangy and sweet with nice flavor. I do recommend you be cautious with the amount of sugar you add- the sweetness of different brands of mayo and ketchup vary a lot, so some people may need less or more sugar. I used Trader Joe's Organic mayo and Organic ketchup, both of which are pretty sweet, so I found I only needed about 3/4 the amount of sugar called for. Overall, very nice- we enjoyed it over mesculun and with veggies. For some reason we felt the flavor was a little off, but we couldn't place it. We thought it might not have enough mayo or the onion was too strong, but I'm really not sure. All-in-all good! I think this would be very kid-friendly, especially if made with a sweet onion! Thanks, Sharon!

Use organic ketchup and mayo. Used Dienia B's suggestion (below) to add horseradish, and this was just what was needed to add zest and extra flavor as we thought it was a little too sweet and uninteresting without it. Made this way, it is spectacular! Much better than buying dressing, as most store-bought have so much corn syrup in them.

This is such a wonderful recipe. I really enjoyed the dressing. I used the lower amount of sugar, 1/4 cup. That was the perfect amount for me since I like tangy rather than sweet dressings. Thanks for the lovely recipe!

Made for I Recommend Tag. What a great salad dressing. I'm always looking for different dressing and this one was different than any that I have tried so far. Thanks for posting this Sharon!

Maybe I shouldn't be reviewing this actual recipe, since I made changes. I like a really tangy dressing and not too sweet, so here's what I did and it came out pretty well. I used 1/8 c sugar, added a couple TBSP of white wine vinegar in addition to the cider vinegar, to get more zing without more sweetness. I only used 1/4 cup oil and canola mayo in an attempt to lower the fat. So, I guess I am not reviewing this recipe, but my own....LOL! Thank you! We are going to have this on taco salad tonight :)

I was making Seafood Pasta Salad, which calls for this type of dressing. After tasting one little bite of the 'gourmet' commercial product I'd bought, I pitched the vile stuff in the garbage and checked on 'zaar as I should have in the first place. The result was delicious! With lots left over, I served it last night on a tossed green salad. And for lunch today, we mixed in a good bit of horseradish and it made a yummy spread for reuben sandwiches. I agree with the commenters who say it's awfully sweet. (I cut back to 1/4 cup sugar and it still was.) But it has great flavor, is easy to adapt to personal taste and proved to be wonderfully versatile. All that for 5 minutes' effort. Definitely 5* in my book!

This is a fabulous French dressing! We all loved it - even my kids. I love the sweetness of this dressing and the wonderful flavor. So easy and it really makes you want to eat more salad! Made for ZWT3 2007.

This was fantastic, I halved the recipe as I didn't need so much and I added a little less sugar as I like the sharpness of the vinegar. Served with a salad of shrimp / prawns, shredded lettuce, sliced avocado and thinly sliced cucumber - almost like a prawn cocktail, it made a great starter. Made for ZWT3 '07. Thank you!

This is so easy to whip up, and the flavor is very fresh and has a nice sweet tang to it. I put it over romaine and spinach leaves with diced cucumbers. I made the redipe exactly as posted and was rewarded with a teriffic dressing. Thanks Sharon!

What a wonderful recipe! Simple and easy to make and a quick one to make when your in a rush too. I did leave out one ingredient and that was the olive oil. I didn't have any on hand, so I decided not to add any other kind of oil, It still turned out great. DH took a taste of it right before he put it on his salad and right off the bat he said... Yum!thats good salad dressing!! He isn't a salad person but I gotta tell ya, he went back for seconds on this one. This was a recipe I picked for the Photo swap#3 and I am so happy that I made it. Thanks Sharon123 for sharing this wonderful dressing.

This was very good, only problem I had with it is the onion was a very overpowering flavor in it. I used a regular brown/yellow onion. I think next time I will either omit the onion or use a sweet one.

I just made this to serve over our chef's salads for dinner - romaine lettuce, vidalia onions, carrots, fried turkey ham slices, green olives, with gouda cheese and marinated artichoke hearts on the side. Very easy to make, but I did substitute about 3/8 cup of honey for the 1/2 cup sugar since we don't use sugar too much anymore. This sub worked very well. It was both creamy and tangy, and it reminded my family of "thousand island dressing, except without those little chunky bits." DangerBoy even liked it, and he doesn't usually like anything other than buttermilk ranch dressing. Thanks Sharon.
