  • Use a good quality olive oil: The quality of the olive oil you use will make a big difference in the taste of the dressing. Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Experiment with different variations: There are many different variations of Italian salad dressing. You can add different herbs, spices, or even fruits to create your own unique dressing.
