Easy Homemade Italian Dressing Recipe
Description
The Easy Homemade Italian Dressing blends ¾ cup olive oil with ¼ cup red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, and optionally grated Parmesan cheese. The ingredients are combined in a mason jar and shaken to emulsify the dressing before serving. The dressing settles over time, requiring a shake prior to use.
This vinaigrette offers a simple way to dress greens with tanginess from vinegar, smoothness from olive oil, and savory herbs from the Italian seasoning. Parmesan adds a subtle cheesy depth, which can be omitted to extend storage life.
The recipe also notes storing this dressing in the refrigerator up to one week with cheese or three weeks without. Bringing the dressing to room temperature before serving helps loosen solids and improve pourability. A suggestion is given to replace dried Italian seasoning with fresh garlic and herbs when using immediately.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning Recipe
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese optional, grated
Instructions
- Add the olive oil, vinegar, Italian Seasoning and Parmesan cheese (if using) to a quart mason jar with a tight fitting lid. Shake well to combine and serve. Ingredients will settle to the bottom of the dressing, be sure to shake thoroughly right before using.
Notes
- Store the dressing in the refrigerator for up to 1 week if it contains Parmesan cheese, or up to 3 weeks without cheese.
- Allow the dressing to reach room temperature before serving to help the olive oil loosen and improve texture.
- For immediate use with fresh ingredients, substitute the Italian seasoning with minced garlic, chopped oregano, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
