I've been looking for a French dressing that a local place makes & I haven't found one close. This looks very interesting so I will try it. Two questions: I thought I'd add honey instead of sugar since we don't like things too sweet. The other question I was wondering if using a "Good Seasons Italian" packet mix & just add oil, red wine vinegar & ketchup (& a little water if needed) would end up similar. Any thoughts?

I just made this with Heinz 1 carb ketchup and 1 packet of stevia and it is sooooo good!!! Going to make plain salads so much easier to eat :) -
This was delicious! DH couldn't stop going yummmmm!!!! This will definately be going into our rotation for dressing. Served over a green salad and along with recipe#388315#388315. Thank you for posting. Made for Spring PAC 2013. -
Oh, Dear. I made this dressing to go on a salad with sliced steak, greens, tomatoes and green onions. I made it exactly except put in only 1 tablespoon of sugar rather than 3(!). It was still FAR too sweet. No wonder children like it! It was like candy! My teeth almost fell out before I went into a diabetic coma! Ketchup has a lot of sugar to begin with, that's why I cut back on the sugar in the recipe. PaulaG, not a slam on you. We obviously have different tastes. :) -
This is AMAZING! Definitely a keeper! Thanks. -

I came to this site in March of 2004. It was then called Recipezaar. This site was the first on-line site that I ever joined. I first popped in 2003 while searching for a Peach Cobbler Recipe. In March of 2004, DH was having shoulder surgery and I was looking for a Split Pea Soup. Once again I found myself on Zaar as it came to be called.
Over the years I hung out and learned from some of the best home cooks in the country, I posted over 700 recipes on the site, reviewed over 3500 recipes and posted over 3000 food photos. Over the next 10 years the site made many changes and in 2010 it was sold to to Food Network and became Food.com.
Until last year we played games, talked and shared with one another. As a result of the community and the relationships I built I got to meet some wonderful people from all over the country. I also have a great number of friends that I have never meet face to face. Some of us still hang out at various places across the net.
Zaar was more than a cooking community. It was an internet community of friendship. Life is an adventure ever changing.
