French Dressing Recipe Sugar Free

April 20, 2015 By Gwen Brown 42 Comments

a french dressing recipe that's sugar free, delicious, and made with simple ingredients

The French dressing recipe that I posted a few weeks ago is so yummy, but it’s sweetened with honey. Since French is my very, very favorite salad dressing, I had to come up with a sugar free version and this is IT! It’s zesty, and full of flavor, but you probably already have all of…
