Italian Dressing
One of my favorite salad dressing recipes of all time is this this one: my homemade Italian dressing! Yes, this zingy Italian American vinaigrette is easy to find at the store. But as a recipe developer who’s created literally thousands of recipes in my career, I’ve found the key to a great salad is a homemade salad dressing.
I first developed this zesty Italian dressing for my popular chopped salad, and it’s become my top easy vinaigrette for salad recipes of all kinds. The flavor is zesty and bright, full of garlic, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and olive oil. I know you’ll love it as much as I do!
