This salad dressing was a favorite when I was a child back in the 50's. It was an original from The Tara Restaurant in Saugatuck, Michigan. The place no longer exists but thankfully, we can still partake of this wonderful dressing. Some of us even like it on meat & things like mac & cheese.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
3/4 cup vegetable oil (not olive oil)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup ketchup
1 garlic clove, mashed
1 small onion, peeled & scored
Directions:
1. Combine first 8 ingredients in a quart jar or covered pitcher; shake vigorously or mix with handheld stick-mixer.
2. Add garlic clove & whole onion. Leave garlic & onion in dressing container.
3. Let stand at least 8—12 hours before serving.
4. This dressing will keep in refrigerator for 2—3 weeks.
5. NOTE: Since trying to cut back on fats, I sometimes use only 1/2C of oil and it is still great.
