This Italian salad dressing is made with extra virgin olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and savory seasonings. It’s easy to make in a small canning jar. This flavorful dressing is delicious on salads, pasta salads, or used as a marinade. It’s gluten-free and dairy-free.
How to make Homemade Italian Salad Dressing
Nutritional yeast gives this salad dressing an extra boost in flavor with its cheesy flavor. If you haven’t tried nutritional yeast in yet, now’s the time. You could use Italian seasoning in place of the basil and oregano, if that is what you have on hand, but I think the combination of those two herbs are just right in this recipe.
It’s incredibly easy to make. All you need to do is put all of your ingredients in a Ball jar, put on a lid and shake. And you can measure your liquids right into the jar using the measurement marks on the side and you won’t have any extra dishes cups to wash.
How to store
Store this dressing in the refrigerator. Take out of the refrigerator about an hour before using to bring to room temperature. Store for up to two weeks in the refrigerator.
