Sweet Vidalia Onion Salad Dressing Marinade is a great way to dress up salads and makes a great marinade for fish.
Sweet Vidalia Onion Salad Dressing Marinade
Sweet Vidalia Onion Dressing and Marinade is one of my favorite store bought dressings. I love it on salads and as a marinade.
One of my favorite ways of cooking salmon is using Vidalia Onion Dressing as a marinade and then as a sauce.
As I was thinking about preparing a Greek salad for lunch, I thought about the dressing and read the back of the bottle and decided to come up with my own version.
I hope you will like the dressing as much as me.
Cast of Ingredients for Sweet Vidalia Onion Salad Dressing Marinade
There are quite a few ingredients, but it all comes together so quickly, that it will be worth the little effort.
No preservatives is always a plus, right? So, make your own homemade dressing and ditch the bottled stuff.
Vitamix in action for Sweet Vidalia Onion Salad Dressing
Just dump in all ingredients, except for the poppy seeds into your VitaMix.
Sweet Vidalia Onion Salad Dressing and Marinade is also delicious on my Avocado Chicken Salad recipe.
And turn your VitaMix to high speed and blend well.
Add the poppy seeds and blend on high for just a second, so that they will evenly mix into the dressing and only slightly break a part.
Sweet Vidalia Onion Salad Dressing Stored in Mason Jars
Refrigerate the dressing for a few hours or overnight. I love to store dressing and many other things in these cute little Kerr Half Pint (8 oz) Mason Jars.

A. says
June 11, 2019 at 3:25 pmI made this because I have two heaping bags of Vidalias and most of the ingredients. I subbed two heaping tablespoons of Great value Sucralose (Aldi) for the sugar, and a tablespoon of Grey Poupon (no mustard seed). Half of the oil was olive oil (ran out of the other oil). I also left out the poppyseed, BUT use a shake of an Everything Bagel combo on top of salad.

January 12, 2019 at 11:13 amI have grown tired of looking for Sweet Vidalia Onion Dressing in the store so I looked at a couple of recipes and this one was my first try! It is delicious and super easy to make! I did not have any poppy seeds and put in chia seeds as a replacement.

Susan P says
June 11, 2016 at 11:04 amThis makes quite a bit……what is the shelf life?
Jill says
June 11, 2016 at 2:45 pmHi Susan~
It does make quite a bit. You could always freeze some of the dressing. I would think the dressing would be good for about a week. I will cut the recipe down and post it, to make it easier. Thank you for your question.
