French dressing is a creamy salad dressing in American cuisine based upon oil, vinegar, tomato, sugar, and other often finely chopped ingredients. Its composition was once regulated by the United States federal government, which withdrew its standard of identity in 2022. A variant in Canada omits tomato and adds mustard.
