Hometown Dressing
secret homemade salad dressing recipe

Secret Recipe homemade salad dressing was- believe it or not- the way restaurants in my hometown competed for repeat customers. Craving that you-can-only-get-it-here flavor brought us back again and again. The hands down winner was an old fashioned downtown restaurant with business-like waiters in white jackets, chic leather-like black booths, and subtle lighting.

After ordering the entree, the pice d’reisitance came: the bottle of thick, bright orange salad dressing, accompanied by plates of plain iceberg lettuce, ready for drenching.

A few years ago, a local magazine revealed the “secret recipe,” and it immediately became our family favorite, no white gloves needed. I’m sure you’ll have repeat customers of your own.

1/2 cup white vinegar

1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 cup water
