Homemade Italian Dressing
Have you tried making your own italian dressing? It’s much easier than you may think. Make up a batch of this and store it in a glass jar in the fridge. It’s great on salads, but also a wonderful marinade for chicken. You can make this dressing more or less flavorful by adjusting the amount of garlic and herbs.
- 1 1/3 cups olive or vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 tsp. whole peppercorns
- pinch of hot pepper flakes
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/4 teaspoon rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon basil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- This is one of those recipes where you dump all of the ingredients in at one time. So simple! You can mix with a blender or a food processor. Just put everything in and pulse or process until smooth.
If you don’t have a blender, chop the garlic and herbs, pour everything into a glass jar, close it well and give it a good shake.
I store my dressing in a jar and give it a good shake before serving.
