How does one make the bright red, slightly spicy, French dressing.?
The French I see most often seems like a mixture of mayo and ketchup, but I would like to make one that is more tangy; and I want to mix it at home so I can make healthy substitutions for the sugar and oil, and ordinary vinegar that are most likely part of the ingredients.
