Zippy, zesty Homemade Italian Dressing is delicious on salads and makes an excellent marinade...plus it's all-natural and easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar OR red wine vinegar OR a combo of the two (Bragg's ACV)
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 to 2 teaspoons honey (optinal)
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan (lactose free or non dairy)
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 3/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
- Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- I usually use italian seasoning.
Directions
- Measure all ingredients into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake vigorously until well-blended and emulsified. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if necessary. (Alternatively, you may whisk ingredients together in a bowl, process ingredients in a mini food processor, or blend them in a blender.) Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator; allow to come to room temperature and shake well before using.
Tips, Tricks, & Variations
The honey mellows out the acidity of the dressing, but you may add more or less, to taste.
