Homemade Honey French Dressing

When you see this in the bottled version, depending upon brand, it is usually a red or orange color, but whether they use some type of coloring agent, I don't know.   

Ingredients:

3/4 cup mayonnaise (reduced calorie is fine) 
3/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons white vinegar 
2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil 
1 tablespoon brown mustard
1/2 cup ketchup
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Mix all ingredients together well; you can use a blender or a stick blender, if you'd like, but I mixed mine by hand. So if you want to give me complexes, go ahead and use a blender or a stick blender. The dressing should be covered and chilled before use.

Don't go pointing out that you can see minuscule specks of mayo, because I didn't use a blender or a stick blender, or I'll really have complexes. 

WORD HISTORY:
Powder-This word, distantly related to "pollen," and more closely related to pulverize," goes back to Indo European "pel," which had the notion of "dust, finely ground matter." This gave Latin "pulvis," meaning, "dust," then also, "powder." This then gave Old French, a Latin-based language, "pouldre," which then was altered to "poudre," also meaning, "dust, powder, ashes." English borrowed the word from French in the 1200s as "poudre," before the modern version. As gunpowder became more common, the term was often applied to it simply as "powder."^

^ The expression "keep your powder dry" originally REALLY meant just that, as (gun)powder wouldn't work properly if damp or wet. The expression later became more figurative for, "don't commit any asset or assets to a situation until needed."
