French Dressing Recipe

French dressing was my all-time favorite salad dressing growing up. Whenever we had the opportunity to go to a restaurant, if there was a salad bar there, I always went for the French dressing. Needless to say, I couldn’t wait to recreate this childhood favorite. This easy homemade dressing recipe is slightly tangy, slightly sweet, totally budget-friendly, and perfect with almost any salad recipe.

Easy Recipe for French Dressing

This classic American-style French dressing comes together with simple pantry staples like ketchup, apple cider vinegar, sugar, and a few dried spices. I love how easy it is to make at home and how it’s even easier to adjust. You can make it a little sweeter, a little more tangy, or tone down the paprika, depending on what you like. It’s so much more flexible than store-bought versions and much quicker to toss together than running to the store for a bottle!
