Hey there, fellow food enthusiasts! Let me share with you one of my all-time favorite salad dressings – the Onion Dressing. It’s tangy, it’s savory, and it’s so easy to make, you’ll probably never go back to store-bought again! This dressing has a rich history, with its roots tracing back to the classic French cuisine. Onion soup mix, a key ingredient, was a staple in many French households, and it was only a matter of time before someone thought to use it in a dressing. And boy, am I glad they did! This dressing is not only delicious but also packed with flavors that can elevate any salad. It’s got a nice balance of tang from the vinegar, a savory punch from the onion soup mix, and a little kick from the red pepper sauce. Plus, the use of evaporated skim milk gives it a creamy texture without the extra calories. So, whether you’re on a diet or just looking for a way to make your meals more exciting, this Onion Dressing is the way to go! I’ve been using this recipe for years and I absolutely love it. I’m sure you will too!

The Epic Saga of “Onion Dressing”
Oh, hello there! So you’ve decided to take a stroll down the culinary lane with me today? Awesome! We’re making Onion Dressing! Yes, you heard it right. No, we’re not dressing onions. We’re making a dressing that tastes like onions. So buckle up, because we’re about to embark on a rollercoaster of flavors!
The Gathering of the Ingredients
The first part of our mission, should we choose to accept it, is gathering our ingredients. Now, this isn’t just any ordinary shopping list. Oh no. This list includes the likes of a 14 oz. can of evaporated skim milk, 1/2 cup of vinegar, an envelope of onion soup mix (about 1 1/2 oz. for the precise among us), 1/3 cup of catsup, 1/2 tsp. of Worcestershire sauce, and 1/4 tsp. of red pepper sauce.
Sounds like an odd combination, right? But trust me, it’s the perfect blend of tangy, spicy, and flavorful that will wow your taste buds. Plus, it sounds like something a spy would use to make a secret code. “The eagle flies at midnight. Bring the vinegar and Worcestershire sauce.”
Shake It Till You Make It
Next, we get to the fun part of our cooking escapade: the mixing. And no, we’re not just stirring, we’re shaking. This is cooking meets workout, people. Grab your covered jar, because it’s about to get physical.
Dump all those ingredients into your jar. Yes, all of them. Even the catsup. Especially the catsup. Now, close that jar up tight. We don’t want a milk and vinegar shower, do we? It’s not as refreshing as it sounds.
Now shake it. Shake it like you’re trying to get the last bit of money out of your piggy bank. Shake it like you’re at the world’s most intense Zumba class. Shake it until all those ingredients are so well combined, they forget they were ever separate entities.
Behold, the Onion Dressing
And just like that, we’ve created Onion Dressing! Who knew milk, vinegar, onion soup mix, catsup, Worcestershire sauce, and red pepper could come together to create such a harmonious medley of flavors?
Well, I did. And now you do too. You’ve just made 2 1/2 cups of dressing fit for a king or queen, or just a really hungry person.
But remember, with great dressing comes great responsibility. Use it wisely. Douse every salad in sight. Smother your veggies. Dip your fries in it. Heck, eat it with a spoon if you want. Just enjoy the fruits of your labor.
The End of the Onion Dressing Road
Phew! We’ve done it! We’ve navigated the treacherous waters of Onion Dressing creation and come out the other side victorious and, hopefully, with a delicious dressing to show for it.
Remember, cooking is about more than just following a recipe. It’s about having fun, shaking things up (literally, in this case), and maybe learning a thing or two along the way.
Until next time, stay saucy, my friends.
