My friend, Karen Calanchini of Redding, CA, adapted and shared this tasty salad dressing recipe. Karen says, "When I did the cookbook for the Redding Police Department, this recipe was included. It is from a good friend of mine and she says it is close to 60 years old and that her dad used to make it. I've created this low-fat version that I use all the time. It is very good!"

Dad's Goop Salad Dressing

1 medium onion, chunked
2 tablespoons Canola oil
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup catsup
Coarse
salt and freshly-ground pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
4 tablespoons Splenda
1 egg white

In food processor, add onion, canola oil, vinegar, catsup, salt, pepper, mustard, Splenda, and egg white; whirl until blended.

DO NOT OVERDRESS YOUR SALADS - Too much salad dressing will weight down the salad ingredients and mask their flavors. The dressing's role is to highlight not to overpower the salad ingredients. A general rule is 1/4 cup of dressing for 6 cups of greens. As soon as your salad is mixed, taste a leaf to see if there is sufficient dressing. If not, drizzle some more over the salad, a tablespoon at a time; toss and taste again.

Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
