Ingredients


  • 1/2 cup vinegar white wine, red wine, or balsamic are our favorites
  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion granules see notes
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt or less to taste
  • freshly ground pepper to taste


Instructions


  • Choose the vinegar you want for the base of your Italian dressing and pour into a salad dressing carafe.
  • Add olive oil, garlic, and dried seasonings. Shake and it's ready to serve.


Notes

We recommend using organic ingredients when possible.

Organic onion granules don't get all rock hard or dried up like onion powder does, so I prefer the granules. Onion powder will work just as well, though.

If you're transitioning from bottled salad dressings, you may want to add a touch of sweetness to get your kids on board. Usually, 2-3 teaspoons of sugar, honey, or maple syrup are more than enough. Gradually, over time, reduce the amount of sweetener you're adding and your family won't even know the difference Golden Italian Dressing 1f642

Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your tastes. Basil yields a slightly sweeter flavor while oregano is more savory. And if you prefer to use fresh herbs, double the amount of basil and triple the amount of oregano.

Making the dressing several hours or even the night before gives a chance for the flavors to come alive more ... so avoid the last minute crunch and make this recipe up ahead of time!

Store the unused portion in the fridge.
