ITALIAN DRESSING (BETTER THAN STORE-BOUGHT)



Italian Dressing (Better Than Store-Bought) image

This easy homemade Italian dressing is zesty, super flavorful and perfect for tossing with salad or used as a marinade. We love the combination of wine vinegar and lemon juice in this, but if you do not have lemons, use 1/4 cup of wine vinegar instead. White wine vinegar and red wine vinegar can be used interchangeably in this recipe.

Time 10m

Yield Makes about 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup (60 ml) extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons (30 ml) white or red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons (30 ml) fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh grated lemon zest
1 garlic clove, finely minced or grated
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon capers, drained and minced
1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
1 teaspoon dried oregano or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves
1 teaspoon dried basil or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley or 1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes, optional
2 tablespoons finely grated Parmesan or Romano cheese, optional

Steps:

  • Combine all of the ingredients listed in a small bowl and whisk until well blended and creamy. Taste then adjust with additional salt or pepper.

Recipe using Good Seasons Italian Seasoning Mix from the side of the box! States it is good as a salad dressing or as a marinade for chicken, beef or fish.

Time 5m

Yield 8 oz, 8 serving(s)

1 (2/3 ounce) packet of good seasons Italian salad dressing mix
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Steps:

Tips:

  • Use a good quality olive oil. This is the base of your vinaigrette, so it's important to use a good one. Look for an extra virgin olive oil that is flavorful and has a fruity aroma.
  • Use a variety of vinegars. In addition to Dijon mustard, you can also use red wine vinegar, white wine vinegar, balsamic vinegar, or apple cider vinegar. Experiment with different vinegars to find one that you like best.
  • Add some herbs and spices. Fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and thyme can add a lot of flavor to your vinaigrette. You can also add spices like garlic, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Let the flavors meld. After you've made your vinaigrette, let it sit for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
  • Use your vinaigrette on salads, grilled vegetables, or roasted meats. It's also a great marinade for chicken, fish, or tofu.

Conclusion:

Italian Dijon vinaigrette is a delicious and versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add flavor to your food, give Italian Dijon vinaigrette a try.
