COPYCAT ITALIAN SALAD DRESSING



Copycat Italian Salad Dressing image

My family prefers the store brand of Italian dressing to any of the name brands. They all pretty much taste the same and have the same ingredients. This is a copycat of their dressing using mostly ingredients from the cabinet most people keep on hand or can find easily. The water makes it stretch a little further for those on a tight budget, but you might also like it without.

1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 1/2 teaspoons Mrs. Dash seasoning mix (or other salt-like seasoning of choice)

Tips for Making the Best Italian Dressing:

  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, and thyme, will give your dressing the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but they will not be as flavorful.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, as it has the most flavor.
  • Add a little bit of acid: Acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar, will help to balance out the flavors of the dressing. You can also use white wine vinegar or red wine vinegar.
  • Season to taste: Once you've added all of the ingredients to the dressing, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs.
  • Let the dressing rest: Letting the dressing rest for at least 30 minutes before using will allow the flavors to meld together. This will make the dressing even more delicious.

Conclusion:

Italian dressing is a versatile dressing that can be used on a variety of salads, sandwiches, and wraps. It's also a great marinade for chicken, fish, and vegetables. With its simple ingredients and delicious flavor, Italian dressing is a surefire hit. So next time you're looking for a dressing that will add a pop of flavor to your meal, give Italian dressing a try. You won't be disappointed!
