    Here is the one I have been using for years. It is an old Mennonite recipe:

    French Dressing

    1C. Salad oil
    1/4 C. vinegar
    2 TBS sugar
    1 tsp. salt
    1 TBS grated onion
    1 TBS Worcestershire sauce
    1 C ketchup

    Mix sugar, salt, and Worcestershire sauce together. Add onion and ketchup. Add vinegar and pour on oil slowly. Whisk together until sugar dissolves. Place in quart jar in refrigerator. Shake before using. Makes about 1 1/2 pints of dressing.

    She, your recipe looks good too. I backed off on sugar using a scant 1/4 c. on my recipe and then the vinegar was too strong. Gotta still play with the exact measurements but I really like being able to make my own dressings.

    Me, too. Once you get used to homemade, the bottled stuff tastes awful.

    Can't wait to try your recipe!

    That is SO TRUE!

    I make home made dressing for years and the only bottled one I still like is Italian.

    Not really sure why!

    And I just made another batch tonight for lunch tomorrow. DH really likes it! Also tried a new recipe for a dressing that has a mayo base but made with zinfendal wine and red wine vinegar. If we really like it, I'll post that recipe too.
