Classic French Dressing

When you think of French dressing you most likely think of a that thick, orange-colored, sweet dressing that was popular in the 50s and 60s. This recipe is a vinegar and oil based French dressing that is very delicious – tangy and a tad sweet and, I think, much better than the bottled stuff. It will keep quite a while in the fridge.

INGREDIENTS:

Place the following ingredients in a jar with a lid that will hold about 2-1/2 to 3 cups of liquid.

• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup white wine vinegar (You can substitute red wine or cider vinegar.)
• 1/8 to 1/4 cup sugar (start with 1/8 cup and after you mix all the ingredients well, taste it. You can always add a little more sugar if you want it sweeter.)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon grated onion

Shake well and chill several hours.
