For years I have loved Old Dutch Sweet and Sour Salad Dressing. It is a little hard to find locally and when I do it is priced higher then most other salad dressing. So I started looking for a recipe that tastes almost like it. Most Pennsylvania Dutch Sweet dressing recipes have oil, egg or cornstarch in them that I have found in old cook books. But I wanted a light dressing that had no thickeners or oil in them. I realized I was going to have to figure this out for myself using the spice measurements and my own non oil base from the recipes I had found. After several tries and adjustments, this is the recipe that I like and it almost tastes the same as the commercial bottled brand.
