Allergy Free Make Your Own French Dressing

Salad dressing is hard to come by when you have an egg, dairy and gluten allergy. I don't like olive oil and vinegar for dressing, or really any dressings that just taste like a load of vinegar. So now my choices are super limited! I pretty much only used Western's French dressing up until Lola's soy allergy that is. Oh great! Now my one dressing option is gone thanks to soy oil! So I started trying a few recipes for making your own french dressing and I absolutely love this one from food.com by Darlene Summers. I made it at Christmas since I was serving salad for my family along with a bottle of Western dressing I still had and couldn't eat. Well my family loved this recipe so much that my homemade stuff disappeared and that bottle of Western is still sitting in my fridge! I have listed the recipe below along with my own picture.






French Dressing:
1 cup canola oil
1 cup ketchup
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt

I just throw all of the ingredients in a bowl and then whisk until smooth and well blended with a fork.

Yields 2.5 cups
