    There are two types of french dressing. One is darker red in color and sweeter (also known as "Catalina French". The other is orange, and has less sugar.

    Totally agree with you Emmy, the onion flavour is key with McD's flavours! My lazy Big Mac sauce dupe is some onion powder rehydrated with a bit of white vinegar (for speed), then mixed with mostly mayo, some mustard, relish, and a bit of ketchup (all to taste). And, another recipe I tried for their sweet and sour sauce was mostly apricot jam with onion powder.

    French Dressing also comes in a much redder version(you were correct) some areas also have a Russian dressing is the redder one.
    If you mix your McDressing the night before you can put your dehydrated onions into the mixture and they will soak up the moisture from there which also allows your onion flavor to thoroughly mix into the dressing.
    Half my family is allergic to raw onions, so we either have to cook til translucent or use dehydrated

    Hi Emmy. I love this idea of smashing but I am going to share my Big Mac dressing recipe with you. Yours is probably good but to get the actual signature taste of a big mac is the smoked paprika in the dressing. Try it and see if you like it as well or better.
    Big Mac Dressing Ingredients:
    2 Tlbs. of the diced dill pickle
    1/2 cup of mayonnaise
    2 tsp of mustard
    1 tsp white vinegar
    1/2 tsp smoked paprika
    Sweetener of choice to equal 1 1/2 tbls of sugar or just use sugar
    Add all dressing ingredients into a bowl and whisk till fully blended. Set dressing in fridge until needed.

  • @stormarcher5774
    @stormarcher5774 Год назад

    Looks like a great idea. If you're doing low carb, there are low carb tortillas available which makes this a great variation of using lettuce wrapped burgers. Growing up, I loved French dressing. I always had to make it from scratch and it was usually a red-ish color from the ketchup. making the dressing from scratch also makes it so you can control the carb content.

    My only issue is when you introduce raw meat to the tortilla you’ve already possibly contaminated the tortillas because even if the meat gets cooked, the bacteria soaked into the tortilla doesn’t. Cook the meat smash style then add it to the tortilla, if you then wish to cook onions , cheese etc then add it and put it under the broiler for several minutes or so.

    I don't usually do salt and MSG together; in fact, I'm more apt to use MSG alone, because it's less likely to raise my husband's blood pressure, but I also think it makes food taste savory enough without needing salt as well. However, for this I might use furikake instead, to get the saltiness but also a little added sweetness and some sesame to compensate for the missing bun.

    The reddish French dressing usually has the word Catalina in the title (Catalina French Dressing). It's sweeter & a maybe a bit more vinegary.
