Red Wine Vinegar
Another essential ingredient in Italian dressing is red wine vinegar. Its tangy and slightly sweet flavor adds a nice balance to the dressing. You can also use balsamic vinegar for a sweeter and more robust flavor.

Of course, no Italian dressing would be complete without the perfect blend of herbs and spices. Our recipe calls for a combination of oregano, basil, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. You can also add in additional herbs such as rosemary or sage for even more depth of flavor.
