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!

    Delicious! Tastes like Italian plus French (hence the name!). I love the idea of premixing the spices and whirring up in the blender in the morning. Thanks, Paula, for another yummy recipe!

    Awesome dressing for our Italian dinner salad. Definately a keeper. I added just a touch more vinegar cause I like more tang that sweet. This would go great on any salad. Thanks for posting

    This is a very nice dressing. Just the right sweet-tangy flavor. I used Splenda, but other than that I followed the directions. It has a nice pouring texture and I am serving it over sliced tomatoes for dinner. Thanks, Carole in Orlando

    OMG this is a great dressing. I did not have canola oil so I used olive oil and I also used fresh garlic. It was great. Will be making again.

    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!

    I received a crute filled with all the dry ingredients for this wonderful salad dressing from PaulaG. All I had to do was add the "wet ingredients" and enjoy this tatsy dressing with my salad. This really makes a great gift to give to all your friends who are salad lovers. Easy to make and wonderful to eat. Thanks PaulaG.
