French Dressing

This homemade vegan French dressing is one of my personal favorites for green salads—I hope you’ll agree that this is better than the store-bought variety. It sure is more economical, and is made with ingredients you may already have on hand.

Makes: about 1 cup

1/4 cup good quality tomato ketchup
1/2 cup vegan mayonnaise
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon natural granulated sugar or agave nectar
1/2 teaspoon paprika, or more to taste
1 clove garlic, crushed, optional

Combine all the ingredients in a small mixing bowl and whisk together until smoothly blended. Transfer to a tightly lidded cruet or bottle. Shake well before each use.

Good with: Green salads; salads using slightly bitter greens; taco salad.
