 French dressing |
French dressing is a term used for different salad dressings in different countries. Initially the term was a synonym for "vinaigrette".
In the United States and Canada, it refers to an oil and vinegar based dressing that is usually rather sweet.[1] Ketchup is one ingredient, making it red to orange in color; sugar is added for sweetness. Worcestershire sauce and paprika are key ingredients. Some versions include chopped onions. It is also available as a "creamy" version, which is opaque. In Germany, French dressing is somewhat similar.[2] In Switzerland, it is a white dressing with mayonnaise or cream.[3][4] In the UK, French dressing refers to a somewhat thick, off-white dressing made with vinegar, oil, Dijon mustard and garlic, often with herbs added.
