In my quest to make my own salad dressings, Italian is next on my list. Italian is my husbands favorite salad dressing. Well, not counting the ketchup and Miracle Whip salad dressing he grew up on and still likes to make. The kids won’t eat it, though. lol
I decided I wanted to start with a mix, so I could whip up the salad dressing quickly and easily when I need it. Here’s what I came up with:
| Italian Salad Dressing Mix |

- In a jar, I use a canning jar, place
- – 2 Tablespoons Water
- – 2 Tablespoons Italian Salad Dressing Mix

Notes
If you want a freshier, chunkier Italian Salad Dressing, use fresh herbs, onions, garlic and celery. Use your favorite vinegar and oil. I use about half apple cider vinegar and half white vinegar.
This mix makes it very convenient to make your own Italian Salad Dressing. My whole family loves this salad dressing. Even the kids! lol

Hello 🙂 Your dressing sounds delicious and easy… I pinned it so we can try making it soon. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Linda, I like the idea of making the mix so that nothing slows you down when it’s time to whip up a batch for dinner. And in summer, using the same flavor combo but subbing in fresh herbs sounds divine! Thanks for linking this to Food on Fridays! I’m so glad you joined us this week!
