Superb French Salad Dressing
"A tasty French salad dressing that never separates! This dressing won a prize. It keeps well for weeks in the refrigerator. And what a great hostess gift in a pretty glass jar with a label and the recipe handwritten on an index or recipe card. Add the dressing to a basket with some salad ingredients if you like. Add a few daisies, or other flowers from your garden to the basket for a nice presentation, just before leaving. Dampen the ends of the flower stems with cool water and wrap them in foil before placing them in the basket."

This was very good, easy to whip up, and definitely better than store bought. It a little too much onion for us. We would also use a little less vinegar next time as it was strong. Overall, great recipe, just minor adjustments. Thanks for sharing. -
Ummm, could this be any easier or yummier? I did not have celery seed on hand so I just chopped up some celery and threw it in the mini chopper with the rest! Had it over side salads with egg salad sandwiches last night for supper! Taking the rest to a friend tonight with dinner as he recovers from surgery! I am sure he will love it too! :) Thanks for posting! Made for PRMR tag April 2010! -
Wonderful dressing - French is all my "meat and potato" husband will eat, he is picky. He had seconds of salad and almost could finish dinner.(lol) I used seasoned rice vinegar and basil. I did add 1/2 tsp of pepper. Thanks for posting ~ Sue -
Yeah! I finally found a French dressing that we like!!! Thanks, Fan, for posting this on "Please Review". I cut the recipe in half and it fits in a 15 oz. dressing bottle. I used my immersion blender and it works great. I did use the optional basil. -
Very good French Dressing. What I like is the ease to prepare!!! It is done in a flash with ingredients that are usually on hand. Thanks foodtvfan

<p>My favorite thing to do is to spend time with family and friends, especially my two grandsons. Cooking, collecting recipe books and tried and true recipes from family and friends, and all the wonderful cooks here at food.com, is what I enjoy too.</p>
<p>My favorite sayings are: Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, and Today is a gift; that is why it is called the 'present'. <img title=Smile src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif border=0 alt=Smile /> and Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live for today. <img title=Smile src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif border=0 alt=Smile /> </p>
<p>My favorite poem is: <br /><span>Common Things <br /></span>The things I prize of greatest worth, <br />Are just the common things of earth; <br />the rain, the sun, the grass, the trees; <br />The flowers, the birds, the glorious breeze; <br />Clouds that pass, and stars that shine, <br />Mountains, valleys, all are mine; <br />Rivers broad, and open sea <br />Are riches none can take from me. <br />Our God is here on every hand, <br />Upon the sea, upon the land! <br />And day by day my thanks I give <br />That with these common things I live. <br />....Praying Hands</p>
<p>My pet peeve is people who spit gum on the sidewalk even if there is a trash bin a few feet away!! I have stepped in 'fresh' gum a couple of times!! </p>
