How to Make Makeover Creamy French Dressing

  1. In a small saucepan, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, whisking constantly.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened to a sauce-like consistency. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  4. In a blender or food processor, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup ketchup, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
  5. Blend until completely smooth.
  6. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in 1 cup vegetable oil in a steady stream until the dressing emulsifies and thickens.
  7. Pour the cooled cornstarch mixture into the blender and process for another 30 seconds until fully incorporated and smooth.
  8. Transfer the dressing to a bowl.
  9. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy!
