CREOLE FRENCH DRESSING



Creole French Dressing image

I got this from a cookbook in my late Grandmothers collection who died in 1986. This is in a small paperback book published by Wesson Oil in 1928. My husband loves french dressing and asked to try this. The recipe below is exactly how it is in the book. They didn't add the garlic in the ingredients it might have been a typo. Note: I can't leave any recipe alone, so....when I make it I changed it to add a 1/2 tsp chopped garlic instead of rubbing the bowl with a garlic clove. I also thought it needed a little perking up so I 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice and a little more worcestershire. Enjoy.
