Once you learn how to make French dressing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-homemade-salad-dressing\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/recipes-for-homemade-salad-dressing\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homemade salad dressings<\/a> will be that much more appealing. This sweet-and-tangy dressing comes together quickly and easily using just eight common pantry ingredients.<\/p>\n<h2>What is French dressing?<\/h2>\n<p>French dressing is a thick reddish orange dressing favored for its use in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mixed-greens-recipes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/mixed-greens-recipes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">green salads<\/a> and pasta salads, and with grilled meats. Believe it or not, &#8220;French dressing&#8221; once referred to any vinaigrette that was seasoned simply with salt, pepper and herbs. Around the 1950s, the dressing began to change and take on a lively red hue.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s French dressings are still made with oil and vinegar (just like a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-vinaigrette\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-vinaigrette\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vinaigrette<\/a>) and include tomato sauce or ketchup. Most recipes also incorporate sugar for extra sweetness, paprika for color, and other flavorful seasonings like onion and garlic.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s the difference between French and Catalina dressings?<\/h2>\n<p>French and Catalina dressings are both red-orange salad dressings that contain similar ingredients. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/catalina-dressing\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/catalina-dressing\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Catalina dressing<\/a> tends to have a thinner consistency. It&#8217;s also a bit more tangy and savory, thanks to ingredients like Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar and lemon juice.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for French Dressing<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2011638 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/French-Dressing_FT24_22618_ST_0618_1-e1720000303323.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"overhead shot of ingredients\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ketchup:<\/strong> Regular ol&#8217; ketchup forms the base of this tomato dressing.

White vinegar helps balance the sweet ingredients and creates a sweet-and-tangy character.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion:<\/strong> You can use any kind of onion, such as an all-purpose yellow onion or a sweet variety like Walla Walla or Vidalia. Mince the onion very finely so that it blends into the dressing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> A little garlic gives the French dressing recipe a savory punch. Don&#8217;t bother with jarred garlic; it&#8217;s easy enough to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-mince-garlic\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-mince-garlic\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mince fresh garlic<\/a>\u00a0and the flavor will be much more pronounced.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Seasonings:<\/strong> What is French dressing without its signature color?

We use neutral-flavored vegetable oil, but you can substitute extra virgin olive oil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Blend the first seven ingredients<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2011639\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/French-Dressing_FT24_22618_ST_0618_2-e1720000319199.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"combine all the ingredients a blender or food processor\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a blender or food processor, combine the ketchup, sugar, vinegar, onion, garlic, paprika and salt.
