Dorothy Lynch...how it all got started.

Yes, there really and truly was a Dorothy Lynch. In the late 1940s, Dorothy Lynch and her husband ran the restaurant at the local Legion Club in St. Paul, Nebraska. This is where the original recipe for Dorothy Lynch Home Style Dressing was born. As the Legion Club members were introduced to this delicious recipe the legend of Dorothy Lynch began to grow and the dressing fast became a "must-have" favorite. Stories of local people bringing their own bottle or jug to town to have it filled with "that delicious Dorothy Lynch salad dressing" were quite common.

In 1964, Tasty-Toppings, Inc. purchased the recipe and rights to Dorothy Lynch and built a production facility in Columbus, Nebraska. The company later expanded its production capacity with a modern 64,000 square foot plant in Duncan, Nebraska. This is where every bottle of Dorothy Lynch Home Style is produced today.

Responding to changing nutrition and health issues, Dorothy Lynch 100% Fat Free dressing was introduced in 1987. Today the familiar red and yellow bottles of Dorothy Lynch Home Style and 100% Fat Free Dressings are available in 26 midwestern and western states. The product is available in some eastern states via specialty distributors. Dorothy Lynch can also be purchased and shipped via Dorothy Direct.
