"This is a copycat recipe of the Western brand dressing. It's better than the store brand and has no high fructose corn syrup in it. It can be easily cut in half. NOTE: I no longer recommend using canola oil. Try avocado or grapeseed oil, or even olive oil. Since I am trying to watch my sugar, I subbed monkfruit (the white granules) for the sugar and used less. Taste is good, but the sugar didn't blend in as well. Hopefully it will meld in the fridge."

This is a wonderful recipe! Since changing to a "real food" diet a while back, salad dressings have been difficult for me, since I'm avoiding soy as much as possible and most commercial dressings are mainly soybean oil. I was a little unsure of how the sucanat would make it taste, but it was fantastic! The only changes I made were to use melted coconut oil (all I had on hand) and a pinch of dry mustard (for 1/4 recipe). It's really close to Western, which is my favorite dressing ever, and I love that I can make it with healthy ingredients. Taco Salad was saved tonight, THANK YOU!!

Fantastic recipe. We like it better then store bought. First time I followed the recipe except used a can of drained deced tomatoes instead of the ketchup. The second time I modified it slightly to use what I had on hand and to reduce the fat abit. I used 1/2 c EVOO, 1/3c truvia, and 1 can petite diced tomatoes with juice. Still fantastic.

Excellent. Cut in half but followed proportions exactly. Used sugar in the raw. Used dried mined onions and garlic because it seems they give a more intense flavor kick to dressings, etc. Added 1/8 teaspoon paprika.

This is wonderful! Western dressing is my favorite and I'm very picky about it...and this is a keeper. I buy the big Cosco organic (sugar based) ketchup already so this is easy for me to do. My kids, husband, and myself all think it beats the store bought kind!

Thanks so much for a great recipe! I substituted coconut oil and coconut sugar and used coconut aminos in place of the Worcestershire sauce, and it's delicious--better than any commercial variety we've ever tried! The "healthy" dressings out there are so expensive and still contain a lot of ingredients we don't eat. I'm happy to have a healthy homemade version of my husband and children's favorite sweet yet zingy dressing!

I am a Christian wife and mother of 3 kids. Since my DH's high cholesterol, we've been eating better. I never used to like cooking. Since eating better, I've liked learning and preparing new recipes. My kids haven't reconciled themselves to the new eating yet. I grind my own grain and make all my own breads.?Working 2 hours a day in the local high school lunch room.??I am homeschooling my high schooler.? ?Also found out 1 child has multiple food allergies (wheat, dairy, tomato, chocolate, etc) and another is gluten sensitive. So, we just started (July 09) eating gluten and dairy free. I've been busy with getting our house market ready, even though it's not the best time for that.?
