RUSSIAN DRESSING

I like to make my own salad dressings. They are so much better than the ones you buy in the store. Fresh is always best to me.

1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Splenda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3/4 cup olive oil

Combine everything but the olive oil in container of electric blender. On low speed slowly add the olive oil until well combined.

LARRY'S FAVORITE DRESSING

This dressing has been in our family since the children were young and still at home. It was originally a spinach salad dressing and over the years took on the name of Larry's Favorite Dressing, because he loved it so good. Well, it turns out that he was not the only one who loved it so much, everybody loves it, and anybody who tastes it has to have the recipe. A jar of this dressing is always on hand in our refrigerator. We particularly like it with grilled chicken breasts and steamed broccoli and carrots on a bed of romaine lettuce.
                                                              
1 cup canola oil
3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup ketchup
1/4 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped onion

Place all ingredients in a quart mason jar. Cover tightly and shake well. Store in refrigerator.
