This Creamy French Dressing whips up in just 5 minutes and is SO good! It will take your salads to a new level!
Homemade dressings are the best! Not only because they taste better, but because they don’t have all the junk ingredients that you find in most store-bought versions.
The two most popular versions of French dressing are Catalina French Dressing (which is bright red and not creamy) and what is simply called French Dressing, or Creamy French Dressing, which is pale orange and creamy. Today we’re going to make the latter version.
This dressing whips up in just 5 minutes and you’ll love the flavor it brings to your salads!
Let’s get started!
Place all of the ingredients in blender and puree until smooth. You’re done!
Transfer it to an airtight container. It will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
Enjoy!
