I totally agree-- this IS the best French dressing ever!! It's identical in flavor to a rather expensive "Country French" dressing I USED TO buy, and it's so easy to make!

Reviewed on Mar. 25, 2010 by rhiler

This is absolutely the best dressing I have ever tasted!! I will be making this over, and over again!

This is the best french dressing ever! It is so easy to make, all in the food processor. I use splenda instead of sugar and low carb ketchup to reduce carbs. It has been a huge hit every time I serve it. Thanks Ruth Ann!!
