This On Chief The Most Tempting French Dressing Made In A Minute ONE ta6te of this French Dressing will satisfy the most discriminat ing palate that there is no better salad oil than Mazola, regardless of whether you compare Mazola with, imported oils that may cost two or three times as much. There can be no better salad oil than Mazola because it is an abso- ' lutely pure vegetable oil made from the hearts of full-ripened corn just as delicious to eat as the corn from which it comes. While you will never forget the economy of Mazola, its high quality and genuine wholesomeness are al ways first in your memory. FRENCH DRESSING 8 tablespoons Mazola A teaspoon Salt 3 tablespoons Lemon Juice 1 teaspoon Sugar ri or Vinegar teaspoon Paprika Mix dry ingredients. Add Mazola and lemon juice or vinegar and beat until creamy. This dressing may be made in larger quantities and kept in a bottle and shaken as used. This is the regulation recipe for French Dressing, but the proportions of oil and acid may be reversed to make it a little more tart for those desiring a sharper dressing. A little Chili Sauce or Catsup also gives Udded piquancy. TTT? end for new. JL IVJlvJL beautifully il lustrated Cook Book. It con tains over 100 recipes for preparing delicious foods.
