How to Make

Tips and Tricks
- If you don’t want to shake the dressing in a jar to combine, add the ingredients to a large mixing bowl then whisk together until evenly combined.
- This makes roughly 1 cup of dressing, and 1/4 cup is a serving size, though you can use as much or as little as you like.
- I like to give this a quick taste before I add the salt. Sometimes the Italian dressing packets are fairly salty and it may be salty enough. It really depends on brand and your preferences.
