How to Make Real French Dressing Not Catalina

  2. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to create an emulsion.
  3. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add a tiny bit more salt if you like it more salty, or a tiny bit more vinegar if you want it tangier.
  5. Shake well before serving over your favorite salad. For the best flavor, let it sit for at least 10 minutes before serving.
