Ingredients
Gather the following ingredients to make your own homemade Italian dressing:
Extra-virgin olive oil - 1/2 cup
Balsamic vinegar - 1/4 cup
Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
Dijon mustard - 1 tablespoon
Italian seasoning - 1 teaspoon
Salt and pepper - to taste
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to make your own delicious Italian dressing:
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Add in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Continue whisking until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
For a smoother and creamier consistency, you can also blend the ingredients together in a blender or food processor.
Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. If the dressing is too tangy, you can add a bit more olive oil. If it's too mild, add more balsamic vinegar.
Once satisfied with the flavor, transfer the dressing to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Give the dressing a good shake or stir before using, as the oil and vinegar may separate.
Variations
Get creative and try out these variations to make your own unique Italian dressing:
Herb-infused - Add in fresh herbs like basil, parsley, or oregano to give your dressing a fresh and flavorful twist.
Sweet and tangy - Mix in some honey or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness and balance out the tanginess of the vinegar.
Spicy - Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for a kick of heat in your dressing.
Cheesy - Mix in some grated parmesan cheese for a creamy and cheesy dressing that pairs perfectly with Italian dishes.
Now that you have the perfect recipe for homemade Italian dressing, you'll never have to settle for store-bought again. Experiment with different variations and find your own signature dressing that will impress your family and friends. Buon appetito!
