Merichkas Salad Dressing – don’t miss out on this Midwest favorite.
Merichka’s Salad Dressing is one of the best kept secrets in the Chicagoland area. This is the original house dressing from Merichka’s and is a "must have" when ordering their famous Poorboy plate. I have looked for it on the web and it is nowhere to be found. My source must be kept secret.
1 cup Ketchup
1 cup Vegetable Oil
1/2 cup Vinegar
1/4 cup Water
1/2 cup Sugar
1 Tbsp. Black Pepper
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
Mix all ingredients together in a salad oil bottle, chill and pour over salad. Enjoy!

I lived in Crest Hill in the early 60’s and my mom would take my brother and I to Merichka’s for lunch. They had the best poor boys I’ve ever eaten. This salad dressing is outstanding as well.
Thanks!!
