- Add the chopped onion, Wesson oil, and white vinegar to the blender.

Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother texture, ensure the onion is finely chopped before blending. If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak the chopped onion in cold water for 10 minutes before adding it to the blender. You can substitute Wesson oil with other neutral oils like canola or avocado oil if desired. Adjust the sugar based on your taste preference, and consider adding a pinch of garlic powder for extra depth.
Serving Suggestions
This Sweet Onion Salad Dressing pairs beautifully with mixed greens, grilled vegetables, or even as a marinade for chicken. Drizzle over a fresh Pickled Bean Salad for a delightful twist. It can also be used as a dip for fresh veggies or chips. For a heartier meal, try it alongside an Onion Quiche Pie(No Dairy Products) for a satisfying lunch or brunch option.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. The flavors will intensify over time, so it's best to let it sit for a few hours before using. Shake well before serving as ingredients may separate during storage. This dressing does not freeze well due to the oil and vinegar combination.
