Murphy's salad dressing

[the family cook]

I want a recipe for the garlic salad dressing served at Murphy's. Its the pink colored dressing and a favorite of my family and I would like to recreate it at home. Can anyone help me?

My memory could be faulty on this, but I seem to remember the ingredients as being French dressing diluted with mayonnaise (the real stuff--not Miracle Whip) with a bit of garlic, onion, salt and pepper.

I hope this at least points you in the right direction.

We have been using the above recipe that Pam provided for years but I have alwaya suspected that it gave you a flavor close but not exactly the same. I have noticed over the years that the inside of the salad dressing container will often have some coloring around the edge that looks like french dressing. I believe I will experiment with the french dressing because this sounds so much easier, which makes since if you knew the Murphy's, they were pretty down to earth. I can see either one stretching the salad dressing by trying this and hitting the jackpot on a new flavor no one else has.

I thought it had chili sauce in it?
Golly.... I'm really craving this today! I think I'm gonna try it out!

We added Heinz 57 sauce to ours and it is really close instead of catsup

Murphy's sucks! That's the only good thing they have. The steaks are terrible for it imitating a steak house!
