This is not the actual recipe for Tally-Ho Delicious French Dressing. My Grandmothers family owned the company and I have the actual recipe. The above version is a pale version of the actual recipe. So don't be disappointed when the above version isn't what you remember it to be.

Hi Fovall,

If you feel that this isn't as good as your recipe, please share - I'm sure everyone would enjoy giving your recipe a try. We share with you, you share with us ;-)

Foval, I am from the Cedar Falls area and the Tally-ho dressings were extremely popular in the area. Personally, my favorite was her 1000 Island dressing, but she had a Poppy Seed which was delightful as well as the cornerstone dressing.

I believe your Grandmother, Ruth Mitchell Foval (?) bought the property on Waterloo Road in 1936 according to information available from UNI and served her recipes for many years.

David and Connie Sullivan, who purchased the property were not successful in continuing the business unfortunately.

Personally I would love to have the recipes if they were available or perhaps in a published book at least? Please do not let her work fade away. Thank you!!

The real one was made with catsup... use 1 cup for this recipe, 2 tbsp. vinegar instead and no mayo! Loved the Tally Ho!!!

Growing up in Iowa as a child, Tally-Ho was my FAVORITE salad dressing. When it was no longer for sale, I kept trying to figure out HOW to make it. I wish if someone actually had the original recipe, since no one can buy Tally-Ho anymore (which I would in a nanosecond), they would please share it so it can be passed down for generations to come. Dorothy Lynch pales in comparison to my memory of Tally-Ho!
