French Dressing

French Dressing is a sweet-tangy salad dressing commonly used in American and European cuisine; it's known for its reddish-orange color and a mix of oil, vinegar, tomato paste and sugar. It is energy-dense and contains about 39.1g of fat per 100g, since it is oil-based and often includes added sugars and flavorings. While it contributes some monounsaturated fats from vegetable oils, French Dressing is usually a highly processed condiment and best used sparingly as a flavor accent rather than a main source of nutrition.
