Mom's Legendary Italian Salad Dressing
Report
Mom's Legendary Italian Salad Dressing is a simple, classic vinaigrette blending olive oil, vinegar, Romano cheese, and seasonings. The dressing balances acidity, savory cheese, and a hint of sweetness for versatile use on salads.
Description
This Italian Salad Dressing combines olive oil with vinegar—in options such as red wine, balsamic, or plain salad vinegar—to form a tangy base. Grated Romano cheese adds a salty, umami depth, balanced by a touch of sugar, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder for flavor complexity.
The ingredients are shaken together in a jar or shaker, creating an emulsified dressing that coats greens evenly. Leftover dressing can be stored refrigerated for up to two weeks, allowing the flavors to meld further.
