Italian Dressing

Iris Warren

Report

An easy Homemade Italian Dressing recipe! It's incredibly flavorful, brightly zesty, vibrant and tangy, perfectly herby, and it's the crowning finish to a fresh, crisp green salad. So much to savor within every taste of it. Makes about 1 1/4 cups.

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl whisk together all ingredients until well emulsified.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Preferably refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using.
Whisk again just before using.
Store in refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week. Dressing solidifies up some because of the olive oil once fully chilled, let rest a room temperature about 15 minutes before using if needed.

Notes

*You can use extra virgin olive oil or regular olive oil. I actually prefer a blend of 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil and 1/3 cup regular olive oil. Just don't use light olive oil as it has a very mild flavor.
