Homemade Italian Dressing
I recently made a recipe that required Italian dressing. A quick scan of the pantry and fridge turned out to be pointless.
No italian dressing!
I called a friend for her recipe hoping I had all the spices needed. She gave me her homemade Italian dressing recipe and I scanned my spice cabinet as she read off the list of ingredients.
Score!
I had everything I needed.
This dressing is TASTY! It tastes even better after it’s had some time in the fridge.
NOTE: It’s a teensy bit salty. I like that, but you might not. Use a bit less salt if you aren’t a fan of salty stuff!
Homemade Italian Dressing Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon white sugar
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 tablespoon Kosher salt
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients together and shake it up in an airtight container.
To make the dressing, pour 1/4 cup white vinegar, 2/3 cup olive oil and 2 tablespoons of water together in a container. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of your mix. Store in the fridge.
My friend uses canola oil for her Italian Dressing, but I prefer cold pressed olive oil.
Enjoy!











Wow! I also happen to have all these spices in my pantry, so I will definitely try this to dress a salad or in a chicken skillet recipe. Do you know how long can I keep it without it going bad? Does it last like a bought dressing, because of the vinegar?
