Don’t be fooled by the name: This reddish-orange salad topper is as American as dressings get. Big, bold French dressing actually comes from Pittsburgh and not its namesake European country—it was invented in 1925 as Kraft’s very first pourable dressing flavor.
While the store-bought variety can sometimes be too cloying, this homemade version has just the right amount of sour to balance out the sweet. The best part is, you can whip up this classic French dressing in minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your fridge and pantry.
