  1. Love this stuff. It's much better than french dressing from a bottle. The first time I made it, I had no trouble at all, but this time, for some reason it just would NOT come together and emulsify. The only thing I did differently was use grapeseed oil instead of canola. The dressing wasn't as smooth as it should be, and when I turned off the blender the oil would slowly separate out. I added 1/4 tsp of dry ground mustard, and when I gave it another buzz, the dressing instantly turned smooth and creamy. And it tastes great. (The mustard trick is a general-purpose salad dressing hack!)
     
  2. I was disappointed in this recipe ... it came out too thick and also seemed too sweet and not tangy like I expected. It was ok, but I might try a different French dressing recipe next time. I halved the recipe so maybe that was the problem. Perhaps I calculated something wrong ...
     
  3. I am re -reviewing this as I made it with a fresh bottle of ketchup and Worchestershire. 5 stars. It is better than Catalina. Will become a regular in our house. Really much better than Catalina and about 5 minutes to throw together.
     
  4. This dressing is tasty and very easy to make. I made Martha's recipe #38576, Mrs. O'Brien's Chicken. The recipe called for Catalina French dressing, which isn't available where I live. This dressing was a perfect substitute! I'll definitely be making this recipe again.
     
  5. Very tasty and easy to throw together. It only took a couple of minutes and I had a wonderful tasting dressing. I halved the recipe and ended up using closer to 1/3 cup of sugar because I wanted it a bit sweeter. I will definitely be making this one again!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

(As many of you know Silent Cricket passed away on Feb. 29. Since she loved Recipezaar so much and so many on Recipezaar have shown their love for her, and have enjoyed her recipes, her personal information will remain here indefinitely just as she wrote it. Her lines at the end of this section sound somewhat prophetic as the last chapter of her earthly existence has been written.) Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
