Recipe Instructions:
-
Blend all ingredients, except oils: In a blender or food processor, combine water, red wine vinegar, sugar, ground black pepper, Worcestershire sauce, English mustard, and garlic. Blend until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are well incorporated.
-
Add olive oil and salad oil: With the blender or food processor still running, slowly pour in the olive oil in a steady stream. Continue blending until the oil is fully emulsified into the dressing. The slow addition of oil helps create a creamy texture.
-
Mix well: Once all the oil has been added and the dressing is smooth, stop the blender or food processor. Use a spatula or spoon to scrape down the sides and ensure all the ingredients are mixed evenly.
-
Chill and shake thoroughly before serving on salad: Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Before serving, give the container a good shake to re-emulsify the dressing. Drizzle generously over your favorite salad and enjoy the classic flavors of the Brown Derby Old Fashioned French Dressing.
