Light French Dressing

Rose McAvoy
Oringially French dressing was the term applied to any salad dressing made from oil and vinegar. This wonderfully rich, all-purpose, vinaigrette with beautifully balanced sweetness and tang is named in the spirit of its orign not in reference to the more modern Americanized dressing of the same name. This salad dressing comes together quickly and easily and lasts for a week or two in the refrigerator. It is sure to become a household staple.
