    Wow what a great dressing! I love all kinds of french dressings and italian dressings too but never thought about combining the two! I did use garlic powder & onion powder and it worked great. I'll be making up extra mix on hand for a quick fix when I need it!

    This is the dressing I have been searching my entire life for! I ALWAYS mix French with creamy Italian, and this is it! I did add a touch of honey to it as DH likes sweeter dressings. We inhaled this along side of our steaks for dinner! I cannot wait to finish the rest and I will ALWAYS have the spice mix made up in the cupboard and ready to go! Very, very tasty!

    Wonderful replacement for Catalina dressing! Great fresh flavor and not too sweet. It was late and I was tired, I just whisked everything together. I started with the seasonings, added the vinegar and blended in the ketchup and oil. It worked beautifully! Next time, I will use garlic and onion powder for a smoother texture. I also used my own homemade superfine sugar (processed in a grinder). PaulaG, thank you for a super post and thank you also for graciously answering my questions!
