Vegan Italian Dressing [3 Minute]
Description
The Vegan Italian Dressing combines extra-virgin olive oil with rice vinegar and lemon juice to provide a bright, acidic base. Dijon mustard smooths the emulsion while Italian seasoning and garlic powder contribute herbal and savory notes. A touch of sugar balances the tartness and enhances flavor, and warm water helps blend the ingredients evenly.
The dressing is simple to prepare by mixing all ingredients thoroughly in a bowl or jar. Adjusting seasoning after tasting allows better control of salt and pepper levels. Storing in the fridge extends freshness and enables the flavors to meld, improving the taste after at least 30 minutes or longer.
This dressing suits a variety of salads or can be used for marinating vegetables or tofu. If chilled, the olive oil can solidify; simply bring to room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving and shake well to restore consistency. High-quality ingredients enhance the final flavor.
