I would like a recipe for French Dressing.?

Answer 1

If you're interested in the classic "vinaigrette", here's an article and recipe for the basic dressing; you can add other ingredients and experiment on top of that! -

Chef Gordon Ramsay advocates a little hot water, too. Use either red or white wine vinegar - other vinegars can be used for different flavours for different salads.

Here's another classic:

Classic French Dressing


Ingredients:
1 T vinegar (of choice)
3 T olive oil - good quality
1 t Dijon mustard
chopped chives (optional)
finely minced onion (optional)
garlic (1-2 cloves)
salt and pepper to taster


Directions:
put salt, pepper, mustard (and chives and onions) in bottom of bowl; add vinegar and mix; slowly drizzle in olive oil, stirring constantly. add
garlic cloves (cut in half) and let sit overnight in the refridgerator. Remove garlic and bring to room temperature before using in a salad.

THIS is a classic French salad dressing. A red dressing does not exist in France, that is an American version of it. You could possibly adapt the above recipe by adding a bit of tomato sauce or paste, but that would be a shame. Try it the way it is, I don't think you will be disappointed.
