Julie's Homemade French Dressing

Yield: A lot. :)

 

1 cup catsup (I use the low carb/sugar kind)

1/2 cup splenda (or to taste)

1/2 cup cidar vinegar

1/2 cup FF Miracle Whip

fresh onion to taste

 

Mix all this in the blender. It is sooooo good! Sometimes I add a little water if it is too thick. It stores nice in the fridge also, although the mayo tends to make it thicken as it sits.

 

Also this makes a lot, you might want to half it.
