Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 0.5 cup white vinegar
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons yellow onion, finely grated
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the ketchup, white vinegar, and granulated sugar. Whisk together until the sugar is mostly dissolved into the mixture.
Slowly drizzle the vegetable oil into the bowl while continually whisking. This will help emulsify the dressing and create a smooth texture.
Add the finely grated onion, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Whisk again until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning, if needed, by adding a pinch more salt or sugar to balance the flavors.
Transfer the dressing to a clean mason jar or an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake well before using, and serve drizzled over your favorite greens or use as a dip for fresh vegetables.
