Thread: Zesty Italian Dressing Recipe

A little more involved than my old stand-by recipe, and I surely don't use salt in mine, or sugar -- but the rest sounds about right.

Does anyone else remember the old Good Season's cruet bottles with the measures etched on the side of the bottle with the W (water), O (oil), and V (vinegar) indicated? Is anybody else my age? LOL!



Zesty Italian Dressing Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup of the vinegar (any type is fine, whether ACV, wine vinegar, rice vinegar, etc...)
• 1 1/3 cup of olive oil or other oil (I usually do half olive oil, half cheaper oil)
• 2 tablespoons of water
• 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1/2 tablespoon onion powder
• 1/2 tablespoon honey, white sugar, or sucanat
• 1 tablespoons dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/2 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 tablespoons salt

Instructions
1. Pour ingredients into a glass jar or bottle with a cover. You may need to use a funnel, in which case pour the dry things in first before the liquids.
2. Cover and shake well.
3. Use, or refrigerate for up to 90 days.
4. Enjoy!

P.S. If you leave out one or two of the spices, it'll still taste terrific.
P.P.S. The texture is exactly like the bought stuff.
