Sun Valley Dressing Recipe

Sun Valley Dressing Recipe Image

This was the house dressing from the Sun Valley Inn in North Conway, New Hampshire. We used to make this a gallon or two at a time.

Difficulty: Easy.
Prep time: 10 minutes + mix forever.
Servings: 4 cups.

Before You Begin

You're going to need a stand mixer for this.

Ingredients

  • 568 ml (2 10 oz. cans) Condensed Tomato Soup.
  • 101 grams (1/2 cup) Granulated Sugar.
  • 120 ml (1/2 cup) Oil. The original recipe used Corn Oil, and I strongly suspect we may have used White Vinegar. In more modern times let's use Canola. I haven't tried Olive Oil for this yet
  • 120 ml (1/2 cup) Apple Cider Vinegar. You can subsitute other kinds of vinegar, but you take responsbility for the taste.
  • 85 grams (1/2 medium) Onion (Yellow or White), chopped.
  • 11 grams (2 cloves) Garlic Cloves, cut in halves. Do not chop or crush becase the garlic flavor will become overwhelming.
  • 5.69 grams (1 tsp) Salt.
  • 4.60 grams (1 tsp) Paprika.

Preparation

  1. Combine all ingredients in a suitably sized mixing bowl.
  2. According to the old handwritten instructions I have, ""Beat at low speed forever". This actually means 1 to 2 hours until all the ingredients surrender and agree to emulsify.
  3. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigrator.

Storage

Store refrigerated for one month in a airtight container.
