The Best Red French Dressing

Submitted by Ferrety

"Red French Dressing is a tangier, spicier version of a traditional french dressing. This recipe is an adaptation from Helen Corbitt's Cookbook. It always gets RAVE reviews! Sweet, tangy, hint of spice, WOW! Helen categorized this Red French as a Southern thing, but she also categorized it as spicy with the 2 drops of Tabasco she called for. :)"

I have made this several times and love it! The only thing I do different is I add more tabasco (love the spicy-ness of it). Thanks for posting this!

This was a really good dressing for my salad of iceberg, blue cheese and toasted pecans. I mixed it in a shaker jar and made sure the spices and vinegar were well shaken and dissolved before adding the oil. This was easy to make low carb by substituting Heinze Lo-Carb ketchup and Splenda. Really hit the spot for a sweet and spicy dressing. Thanks for posting

A nice good and bit different French Dressing. It was good over a green salad.

I made this dressing this morning. It is a nice "zingy" tasting recipe, but I only used one teaspoon of salt and that was almost too much. I also substituted half the oil with water to cut the calories and fat. I also added one more teaspoon of sugar for our tastes, but it does have a nice little kick to it. Will let it blend in the refrig and have it on shrimp salad for supper. Thanks, Carole in Orlando
