Very good with these changes, half the sugar, half the onion, I grated it. 2 cloves of garlic , grated. I added 1 teaspoon of horseradish.
Mr. Charles Barber
Next time I will reduce the amount of sugar and onion. I added more Worchestershire sauce and a pinch of salt, garlic powder, and used olive oil.
Lisa Miller
This was delicious! I read through reviews before I made it. I used brown sugar as someone else had suggested. I added a bit of garlic and S&P. Ran the whole thing through the food processor to pulverize the onion.
William Roy
I love the taste, but I feel it has too much onion. Next time I make this I am cutting back on the onion and puree it more so there are no onion pieces in the dressing.
Jordan Elliott
This dressing is fabulous! Super easy to make and full of flavor, it’s healthier than store bought dressing. I used olive oil and only 1/2 cup onion because I am not a big onion fan. My family loves it!
Seth Callahan
I made it as the recipe stated, but I used coconut oil, because I was out of olive oil. My husband loved it! I felt it was alittle to sweet but that is just personal preference.
Cheryl Donovan
Delicious! My husband and I loved this! I followed the suggestion in one review to blend all ingredients except the oil until smooth and then add the oil and blend lightly to combine. Kept all ingredients as written. We’ll keep using this – thank you!

I think the recipe is great as it is, however just to let you know that I made the following changes because I had to, and it still turned out great. I used brown sugar instead of white, and it worked well with the apple cider vinegar. I didn’t have an onion so I had to omit it, but it was still good. I used a combination of mostly olive oil, some vegetable oil, and a dash of roasted garlic oil. This is a very versatile recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Very good dressing. Nice balance
Jordan Foster
Great for a change!..I sometimes use shallot..I ALWAYS double the recipe..

I make this dressing for my Asian chicken salad. I use brown sugar instead of white and red wine vinegar instead of Apple cider vinegar. Salad with teriyaki grilled chicken, iceberg lettuce, finely chopped purple onion, dry ramen noodle (finely broken up) and sunflower seeds.
Shawn Lewis
After using the original recipe I ended up using 1 1/2 Tablespoons of Worchestershire sauce and no onions because my husband doesn’t like onions but he loved this dressing!
Kevin Riggs
Just finished it. It was super quick and easy. I omitted the onion and increased the Worcestershire because I like a little twang. I’ll be doing this again!
Mr. David Hayes
It was awsome! Though I’m not much of an onion fan I’ll make it next time without. =3 Also it has such a great taste I might just make some stir fried sweet and sour chicken rice next time! So yummy, thank you! =D
Patricia Todd
very interesting taste! I loved it though, something different. its nice to taste sweet in a salad, however my boyfriend who prefers the salty stuff didnt love it quite as much as i did.
Randy Tucker
I didn’t want pieces of the onion in my dressing, so I pulsed everything EXCEPT the oil in the blender. After it was smooth, I streamed in the oil through the top with the blender running. I did adjust the flavor by adding a bit more ketchup and worcestershire to suit our tastes. Perfect consistency for a salad dressing.
Angela Wilson
Since making this the first time, it has since become one of my go-to dressings!! Love it!
Amanda Rivera
awesome recipe…. added a little more worcestershire sauce and some garlic powder. keeps well in fridge for later use
Gregg Hubbard
Great recipe with lots of flavor! I used olive oil instead of vegetable oil since its better for you. I think I would cut back on the onion just a little if you don’t like having that onion taste in your mouth an hour later. I did not have time to put my dressing in the refrigerator for an hour so I blended it with my hand held blender. This gave it a smooth frothy look and might explain why mine tasted so oniony. Anyway, great recipe!
