Why Homemade Italian Dressing?<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

Italian dressing has been a staple in my house for decades. From dressing salads to marinating veggies and meat to adding to a simple pasta salad, I turn to Italian dressing to add vibrant, fresh flavor to endless dishes.<\/p>\n

But instead of using store-bought dressing, I prefer to make Italian dressing from scratch, just as I do balsamic vinaigrette<\/a>, ranch dressing<\/a>, and Caesar dressing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Not only does homemade Italian dressing taste so much better than anything you\u2019d find at the store, but it\u2019s also budget-friendly<\/a>, made without any questionable ingredients, and takes only minutes to make!<\/p>\n

With just the right combination of dried herbs, fresh lemon juice, and crushed red pepper flakes this recipe for Italian dressing is tangy, bright, and perfectly zesty. <\/p>\n
