You will never like a store bought dressing, ever again. There, now that I've cleared the air get excited because not only is this the best Italian dressing ever, it's also the easiest!

    Not only does this Italian dressing recipe taste better than store bought and come together in less than fifteen minutes, but it is free from preservatives and other additives that store bought dressings have, so it really is a win/win! It would taste amazing on one of these amazing green salad recipes, our incredible Italian pasta salad, or you can find all our awesome salad recipes here!

    Best Italian Dressing

    Here are a few quick tips! If you have questions we didn't answer please leave them below in the comments.

    Pro Tips: 

    • If you have a blendtec or other power mixer that incorporates the dressing really well.
    • Be sure to re-shake up your dressing prior to serving each time.
    • If you don't prefer extra virgin olive oil, any other neutral oil like canola or vegetable will work fine.
    • Dressing stores in the fridge in an airtight container for two weeks.
