Creamy French Dressing
Description
This homemade Creamy French Dressing offers a superior alternative to store-bought versions, delivering a perfect balance of tangy vinegar and rich oil. The addition of paprika provides a subtle smokiness and vibrant color, while cayenne adds just enough heat to wake up the palate. The egg acts as an emulsifier, creating a luxuriously thick and creamy texture that clings beautifully to lettuce leaves. It is incredibly versatile, pairing wonderfully with simple green salads, chopped tomatoes, and hard-boiled eggs. This dressing is best made fresh but keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days, allowing the flavors to meld together. It is an easy, from-scratch recipe that elevates any meal.Ingredients
