Equipment

blender
2 1/2-quart saucepan
Stirring utensil

Ingredients

1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 tablespoon celery seed
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 teaspoon celery salt
1 tablespoon salt

Instructions

In a blender, combine 1 cup of water and 1/8 cup of cornstarch. Blend on high speed for about 1 minute or until the mixture is smooth.
Pour the blended cornstarch mixture into a 2 1/2-quart saucepan.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and cook the mixture, stirring constantly. Gradually add each of the remaining ingredients: 1/2 cup cider vinegar, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon salt, 1/4 cup butter or margarine, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon celery salt, and 1 tablespoon celery seed. Stir well after each addition.
Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. This may take a few minutes.
Once the dressing has thickened and is smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the dressing cool completely. Once cooled, transfer it to a refrigerator container and cap tightly. It can be kept in the refrigerator for about 6 weeks. Do not freeze.

Notes

Use high-quality cider vinegar for an authentic flavor.
Adjust the sugar content to suit your personal taste preferences.
Experiment with different spices to customize the dressing to your liking.
Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for extended freshness.
Allow the dressing to reach room temperature before serving to enhance the flavors.
