At our house, we rarely buy store-bought salad dressings. Homemade salad dressings are so simple to make from ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen – plus they taste so much better!
This French Dressing recipe is a perfect example of a homemade dressing that is better-tasting than anything you can buy off the shelf! I know – it doesn’t have that bright orange color you’re probably used to seeing in the bottled versions. That’s because this French dressing uses all-natural ingredients – and you still get that same wonderfully zesty flavor without added artificial colors.
This French dressing is great on salads, sandwiches or even tossed with shredded cabbage and carrots for a quick and zesty coleslaw!

French Dressing

- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup canola or vegetable oil
Instructions
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine all ingredients except the oil. Process for about 2 minutes, or until all of the sugar is dissolved.
