Instructions
Italian Dressing
- Whisk all ingredients together (or shake 'em up in a lidded mason jar) and allow to sit. Giving the dressing some time to mingle will not only infuse flavor into the oil/vinegar but also soften the dry herbs and seasoning.

Greek Dressing
- Combine ingredients in a lidded jar and shake vigorously to emulsify. Allow to sit while you toss together your salad, then shake again before pouring over your pasta.
Lemon Dressing
- Zest 1 lemon and set aside. Juice your lemons to yield 1/4 cup of juice and add to a small/medium mason jar. Add lemon zest and remaining dressing ingredients and close lid tightly. Shake well to emulsify the dressing, then pour over pasta salad.
