French Dressing

Posted by peppertree on June 26, 2008

Here’s another recipe from the old Betty Crocker cookbook I have. I was really craving my faux-crab cakes, so I thought maybe have a salad with them, and make a new dressing. This recipe makes alot of dressing. But, eh, I don’t know…it was ok. Nothing great. Toby said it tasted very mustard-y. I thought it tasted very vinegary. oh well. But my faux-crab cakes were awesome! We had those a green salad with this dressing, and some coleslaw. Oh, I didn’t have a spare jar (!) to shake this in, so I used a whisk.
