Helen's original dressing recipe called for onion juice and so, I always grated onion and then squeezed it through cheesecloth. Also, she calls for the oil a spoon at a time, which is why it thickens like mayonnaise. I've never made it by pouring in the oil. That dressing is to die for, spoon by spoon. Yummy!!<br />Kittynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-4173588010730382562010-08-18T15:11:49.839-04:002010-08-18T15:11:49.839-04:00That recipe sounds great, I will definitely be giv...That recipe sounds great, I will definitely be giving it a try!<br /><br />www.embracenutrition.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8986801201760240722.post-41809958095237511072010-08-08T17:24:51.455-04:002010-08-08T17:24:51.455-04:00I am hopelessly behind in reading food blogger rec...I am hopelessly behind in reading food blogger recipes, since my work schedule has drastically changed.
