This homemade Italian dressing recipe is zesty, fresh, and authentic – better than Olive Garden or Wishbone any day! Perfect for your favorite salad, pasta salad, or even as a marinade.

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ tablespoon garlic powder
  • ½ tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • ½ tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup vinegar (any flavor works well)
  • 1 ½ cups olive oil (I like this brand)

Instructions

  1. Combine everything above in a jar or container capable of holding at least 2 ½ cups. Cover and shake well. The recipe makes just scant of two cups of dressing.

Notes

  • To save time, I usually triple or quadruple the dry portion of this recipe and store it in a jar in my spice cabinet.
  • I write “2 Tbsp” on the jar and that’s to let me know I need that much dry seasoning mix to make a batch of dressing. (Although you can always use more or less, depending on how you like your dressing to taste.)
