French Dressing Recipe
This French Dressing blends grated onion and garlic into a tangy base of ketchup, apple cider vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce, sweetened with sugar and seasoned with paprika. Slowly whisking in a neutral oil emulsifies the ingredients into a smooth dressing with a balanced sweet, sour, and savory profile, suitable for salads or dipping.

Notes
- Pour the oil slowly while whisking constantly to achieve proper emulsification without separation.
- Sweetener can be swapped for honey, maple syrup, or agave according to preference.
- Neutral oils work best; blending oils can add complexity to the flavor.
- The dressing can be made up to three days in advance; flavors develop further with time.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 7 to 10 days and bring to room temperature before serving.
