Awesome recipe! I have loved Dorothy Lynch dressing since I was a kid but don't buy it as much now because it's a little pricey, but now I don't have to worry because I can just make my own! This tastes just like the real deal for a fraction of the cost! We even use it in place of taco sauce on tacos! Try it you'll like it!!

I love it! Easy to make and tastes just like what you buy in the store. Thank you for sharing it

This is extremely close the real thing. I grew up in Kansas and this dressing is what I grew up with. I moved to Florida some time ago and have only been able to get it occasionally when I visit home and have braved putting a couple of bottles in my suitcase (praying they wouldn't break!). Now--I can make it at home! It's waaaaay cheaper than ordering the stuff online (it costs a fortune!) and the ingredients are things you already have in your pantry. Thanks for posting this! I've been looking forever for the perfect DL recipe!

Thank You! Thank You! I grew up in Kansas eating Dorothy Lynch. When I moved to Missouri, although hard to find, it was still available. We've moved to Tennessee, and it's been two years since I've tasted this wonderful dressing. This recipe is so close to the original! Reminds me of home.

This recipe is great! My husband and I are from Nebraska now living in Southern Illinois. We either ordered Dorothy Lynch online or bought it by the case full when we went to NE to visit. Now it only takes minutes and a few dollars to have the same thing!

Thank you so much for posting this. Me and my husband used to live in South Dakota, but now we live in Oklahoma and we can't find it anywhere and pretty much no one has even heard of it!! I was so sad because it was my favorite dressing so I was really excited to find this! It turned out great! Thank so much!!!

This is my favorite salad dressing. This has saved me a ton of money by making it at home.

Very thin, even after adding cornstarch (how much to add?). Has a really tomato-e taste compared to DL. We love the original, but our grocery store has stopped carrying all but the tiny bottles.

Tastes better than the original - the flavor is just more intense. Not only great for veggies, works great on sandwiches, burgers, and makes a great marinade for cube steak or chicken on the grill. I always add about a T of cornstarch to thicken. Keeps great in the fridge, very versatile concoction.

Haven't put it together yet but will. Srnding this recipe to our daughter and hubby living in London. She has not been able to find Dorothy Lynch. She'll flip over this ans I'll be the HERO DAD.

Wow Wow Wow! This dressing was a huge surprise...the flavors are fabulous and we just loved it....I have never heard of this dressing before but it is going to be one of our favorites from now on! I used splenda instead of sugar.

I don't actually like Dorothy Lynch but my husband can't get enough and the stuff is expensive! I made this for him today and - Success!! Thank you so much! No more $5 bottles of salad dressing for us:)

Great Recipe Tastes lik the real thing. I make it with splenda for my mom who is diabetic.

I am not commenting here on the taste, however, I just received my grandmother's old recipe box and found this exact recipe! I was going to post it on 'Zaar, but I see that you have it here already! Thanks for sharing!

I actually think that this is just a little better tasting than the real thing. The only problem is that it isn't as thick as the stuff you buy.

I've never had the real Dorothy Lynch salad dressing, but this stuff is really good. We're normally Ranch Dressing fans, but have been trying different dressing lately for a change--this is one of the best we've tried. Inexpensive too, and always have these ingredients in the pantry! Thanx ffor posting this.
