It’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe from my own kitchen or a guest author favorite. It could be a cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes the eye and fancy…which today is HOMEMADE FRENCH DRESSING from KAREN’S KITCHEN!!

Growing up, my salad dressing of choice was French dressing. Of course, I could never get it in restaurants. The standards were Blue Cheese…blech…and Ranch. Again, not a favorite. Or Italian. Nope! When I could get French dressing, I was in heaven. Needless to say, finding a recipe to make my own made my week, my year! If you want a zippy version of this classic salad dressing, you’ll enjoy this recipe.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!
