The Best French Salad Dressing

This has a wonderful taste. I do feel that it has too much oil in it, but maybe it is the type of oil I used that made the difference. I used a canola oil, but would take direction for another. This makes alot so I don't have to make another salad dressing for awhile. I will make this again as it was very easy to make and taste very good on a green salad. It didn't have me licking the plate but I certainly made sure that ALL the dressing was sopped up. Thank you for posting Carol.

I was looking for a dressing for a Taco Salad and this one fit the bill. There is a nice balance of flavor. I used a little less the 1/2 cup of sugar and that was just right for us.

This recipe is ON POINT! I even used a fat-free oil substitute (2 tsp cornstarch cooked into 1 cup vegetable broth) and splenda, and it STILL came out aces! I halved it, very easily, and was able to use my mini-4 cup processor without it going on the counter. Another sure winner from Kittencal!

I made this to go with your Taco Salad and was enough for more than two salads.
I will cut back on the sugar slightly since I used the full amount and it was a wee bit sweet.
Other than that it was awesome. I did use the mayonnaise coz i wanted it a lil creamier.
Thanks Kitten! Your recipes are always a safe, yet tasty, bet :D

Cut the recipe down to 1 cup for the two of us and we still have enough left for another meal. Great flavor especially on Kittencal's Taco Salad for a Crowd.

So good and easy! I have tried many of Kittencal's recipes lately and haven't found a single one not worthy of 5 stars. Can't wait to try more of your recipes.

Delicious, and better than any store bought bottled dressing! I left out the onion and used garlic powder instead of garlic salt. Thanks for sharing!

I don't usually eat French dressing, so I don't have anything to compare this to, but I really liked it. I made it to use on your taco salad. I love making condiments at home because its cheaper, and, in this case, I had everything in my pantry. Thank you!

This was wonderful Kittencal! I made it with splenda for the diabetics here and low carb ketchup and he just loves that he can enjoy a sweet dressing without it causing problems...thanks

I can't believe it took me this long to rate this! I've made this recipe 3 times now. The 1st time I was making a dip that called for french dressing and I didn't have any, so rather than go to the store I whipped this up. It was the best dip I've ever had! So for the same gathering I made everyone try the dressing and they LOVED it! Thanx for posting another winner!

This is a good dressing, but not very much like French dressing. It is more like an Italian and French dressing mix. It was more vinegar-ish than I like.

This is a very good dressing. I did not make the creamy version. I also only used 1/2 cup of sugar which was perfect. I added 1 teaspoon of garlic as we love the stuff and it was not to over powering at all. Much better than the bottle stuff. Thanks, Kittencal for another nice addition to my collection on recipezaar.

This is the best french dressing ever! I like a sweet dressing without being too wangy with alot of vinegar. I forgot to add the onion but we thought it was amazing so I think I will omit the onion next time I make this dressing. I also didn't add the mayonnaise. This dressing reminds me of a good catalina dressing.

I had another French Dressing recipe that I've been using for years and decided to try yours. Am really glad I did. Much as I like my recipe, your's is twice as good. Can't go wrong with a Kittencal recipe. Thanks so much.

This was the best french salad dressing ever! I made this for my son's birthday party and everyone LOVED it - and have all asked for the recipe! I definitely won't ever buy french dressing from the store again! This will be a staple in our refrigerator from now on!

This has to be the BEST French Salad Dressing I have ever tasted ~ not just homemade, but anywhere, anytime, any place! This recipe is so incredibly simple to put together, there will never be another reason for me to purchase French Dressing again! I used onion juice, which I find to be easier to use when making salad dressing, I also used the entire amount suggested for the sugar and 1/2 tsp garlic salt. Once again, Kittencal, you have provided me with another great recipe I will use over and over again! Thank you!

Yum! I halved the recipe and took it to a church potluck along with a big salad. The people who tried it asked for the recipe! I loved it. Thanks Carol!

I made a half recipe for this. I used one rounded teaspoon of fresh minced garlic with 1/2 teaspoon salt. I used my blender to puree it and the dressing came out thick and silky smooth. It is better than any bottled French Salad dressing. Thanks, Kittencal.

This dressing was very good. In my opinion, much better than the bottled stuff. I used only 1/4 cup sugar and I thought it was sweet enough. I didn't add mayo, but I might give it a try next time. Thanks Kittencal for posting!
