Tips & Substitutions

For a twist on Beulah's French Dressing, consider using apple cider vinegar instead of regular vinegar for a milder flavor. If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper. You can substitute the Wesson oil with olive oil for a healthier option. Ensure you mix the ingredients well to dissolve the sugar completely, which enhances the dressing's flavor.
