Dressing #1 (Low-Sodium Italian Dressing) image

Make a large batch: Italian dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, so it's a great option to make ahead of time.
Use a good quality olive oil: The olive oil is the base of your dressing, so it's important to use a good quality oil that has a nice flavor.
Let the dressing rest: After you make your dressing, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before using it. This will allow the flavors to meld together.
