Notes
- Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
- Because olive oil is the main ingredient in this recipe, I’d recommend a high quality olive oil if you can. A quick and easy way to tell if you’re buying a high quality olive oil is if the bottle displays a “pressed on” or “harvest” date.
- Fresh squeezed if possible. You will need about ½ lemon for 2 tbsp.
- I am always an advocate for the freshest cheese possible (just check my
- Instant Pot Stuffed Shells recipe
- ). I would recommend fresh grated parmesan cheese if possible, or high quality packaged stuff if not. Pecorino Romano (used in this
- Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe
- recipe) would also be delicious.
- I am using red wine vinegar, but you can use white wine vinegar if you prefer.
- To get more juice out of your lemon, heat it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds. Then use your hands to roll it around on the countertop.
- Some other renditions of this Italian Salad Dressing Recipe call for bell peppers, dill, fennel, and more. Feel free to add anything that sounds delicious to you!
- Store leftovers in a mason jar. Shake it well before each use.
- Feel free to omit the sugar for a healthier alternative, but keep in mind this will change the taste of the recipe.
