Nonna's Tuscan Salad Dressing image

This very light, fresh dressing works equally well on mixed greens, spinach or romaine, or just drizzled over sliced, fresh, ripe summer tomatoes and fresh basil leaves. Quick and easy to make fresh, but stores well for up to 3 months in the refrigerator. It's a family recipe brought over from the old country by my nonna (grandma.)

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dressing turned out really bitter. I think I might have used too much lemon juice.

This dressing was a bit too expensive for my taste. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this dressing to be a bit bland. I think I'll add some more garlic and lemon juice next time.

This dressing is a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try using less olive oil next time.

This dressing is a great way to use up leftover herbs. I always have a bunch of basil and oregano in my garden, so this is a perfect way to use them up.

I was a bit skeptical about the anchovies, but they really add a nice depth of flavor to the dressing. I couldn't even tell they were there.

I love the simplicity of this recipe. It's only a few ingredients and it's so easy to make. I even grow my own basil and oregano, so it's super fresh.

This is the best salad dressing I've ever had! It's so flavorful and versatile. I've used it on salads, grilled vegetables, and even as a marinade for chicken. It's always a hit!
