French Dressing Recipe
Report
This homemade French dressing recipe takes me just 10 minutes to make, and it’s always my favorite to pour over a fresh salad. It’s tangy from the vinegar, sweet from the ketchup and sugar, and rounded out with a hint of garlic and paprika. I know you’ll enjoy the gentle sweetness in every spoonful of this easy French vinaigrette.

Ingredients
- ¼ peeled finely grated yellow onion
- 1 finely grated garlic clove
- ¾ cup ketchup
- ½ cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup Neutral flavored oil
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Finely grate the onion into a bowl.
- Also finely grate the garlic into the same bowl.
- Add in the ketchup, vinegar, hot sauce, Worcestershire, sugar, and paprika to the bowl.
- Slowly drizzle in the oil while continuing to whisk until it is emulsified.
- Adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper and serve or store.
Notes
- Emulsifying is the secret to getting this homemade French dressing just right. That just means combining ingredients that don’t usually mix, like oil and vinegar. You don’t need a blender or mixer to make it work, though I’ve used a stand mixer before and it does the job beautifully. Most of the time, I just use a bowl and a whisk. As long as you pour the oil in slowly and keep whisking, it all comes together.
- Sweeten: I sometimes swap the sugar for honey, maple syrup, or agave. Just use what you enjoy or have on hand.
- Oil: Any oil works here, though I like using a neutral one. Blending a couple of oils also gives great results.
- Mixer: I’ve made this French dressing recipe in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment and it turns out smooth every time. It’s a nice hands-free option.
- Make-Ahead: You can make this French dressing recipe up to 3 days ahead. You can serve this immediately, but more flavors will come out with time. In addition, let it sit at room temperature before serving it.
- How to Store: Place in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days. This will not freeze.
