I have been searching for this recipe for years. It tastes exactly as I remembered. Many thanks for sharing this excellent salad dressing recipe.
You are welcome. It is great that you were able to find your long lost recipe here.
Interesting...never heard of this till one week ago when it was served at a dinner I attended...and I loved it. Can't wait to make it!
I have the recipe and it calls for tomato soup not tomato juice. Will have to try this one. Either way the Castle was a great place!
The original recipe calls for tomato soup not tomato juice.
Sorry but this is not the original recipe..
I made this recipe and it didn't taste like the Loretto Dressing I remember.
How about their meatballs? Anyone have the recipe?
I also have a different recipe with tomato soup.
This is not correct sorry. Keep trying folks...lol
This recipe might be good but, not even close to the real Loretto. Keep trying folks
This is totally not the recipe for loretto dressing. It was a corn starch paprika garlic slurry cooked to a thick paste then adding powdered egg yolks. vinegar romano cheese and lots of oil. never heard of hot sauce in the original chef lentola recipe
A touch of cayenne pepper is missing..I made this for years at Loretto Foods
my husband worked for the Castle 7 was one of a very few who were responsible to make the week's dressing. I can guarantee that there is not ONE drop of ANYTHING tomato in the recipe. Chef L, definitely taught my hub. & i remember cleaning those uniforms after a 'loretto' day
Why is this recipe such a secret? They are out of business.
I think the secret ingredient he left out from the Bon Apetit magazine was Lawrys seasoned salt

I work there in the early 70s with chef lentola and sorry that's not the original recipe....good try but not close Robert, Jamestown ny
I worked there in 1968, the recipe was so simple it was a joke:
French dressing, tomato soup, chicken base, romano cheese, mayo and a touch of the W sauce. That's It
What is the real original Loretto salad dressing. Had it at the Castle and L’Alcove in Olean, NY
The link of original recipe is at the end of direction.
