brockles secret special dressing
(7 ratings)
There are many in the Dallas area who remember Brockles Restaurant and the signature Special Dressing which was so incredibly popular from the 1940's - 70's. I grew up in that area but the restaurant was already gone when I came along. Though I've heard lots about this dressing. It was served on a fresh, crisp wedge of lettuce w/tomatoes and a few saltines. People LOVE this dressing and talk about it to this day! Well the Brockles family has now graciously made the family recipe public. Extremely generous of them .. as they could have made a MINT on this!
