French Dressing (makes 1/2 gallon for all of your salad needs)

Ever find a recipe that makes your head tilt and no matter how hard you try you find yourself judging it? This is one of those recipes. I mean who *really* needs 1/2 gallon of French Dressing for at-home use? In addition, everything about this screams 1970s food (OK, the use of canned tomato soup is what mostly screams 1970s). I’m actually tempted to try it- well maybe the half version since we don’t need the full 1/2 gallon
