This isn’t a dressing I like personally, but I do remember when it became really popular in the late 70s or 80s. It was all my parent’s friends talked about for some reason. Also, I found that onion juice is some kind of hair tonic these days. I’m not sure if it’s food grade, so you may want to substitute onion powder plus a liquid like water for the consistency.
