“The perfect dressing is essential to the perfect salad, and I see no reason whatsoever for using a bottled dressing, which may have been sitting on the grocery shelf for weeks, even months – even years.”

Julia Child has a point. Making your own salad dressing takes minutes, and the fresh flavor will set your salads apart. They are so much better than store-bought salad dressings. The sweetness of the honey makes this salad dressing perfect.

I love using raw honey in my recipes. If you’ve never tried raw honey, you can find it here on Amazon. Regular honey can also be used for this recipe.

History of Honey French Salad Dressing

Did you assume that French salad dressing originally came from France? So did I.

French Salad Dressing was created right here in the good old USA.

French dressing was a term for dressings made of parts oil and part vinegar. A little company you probably never heard of…Kraft…started bottling salad dressings, and their first creation was the French salad dressing that we have all come to know and love. It’s one of those great recipes that is so easy to make at home and transforms a simple salad.
