COPYCAT ITALIAN SALAD DRESSING



Copycat Italian Salad Dressing image

My family prefers the store brand of Italian dressing to any of the name brands. They all pretty much taste the same and have the same ingredients. This is a copycat of their dressing using mostly ingredients from the cabinet most people keep on hand or can find easily. The water makes it stretch a little further for those on a tight budget, but you might also like it without.

Tips

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and flavorful herbs.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. Try adding some chopped cucumber, bell pepper, or avocado to your salad for a unique twist.
  • Make sure to chill your salad dressing before using it. This will help the flavors to meld together and create a more cohesive dressing.
  • If you're short on time, you can use a store-bought salad dressing. Just be sure to choose a dressing that is flavorful and not too heavy.
  • Serve your salad immediately after dressing it. This will prevent the dressing from wilting the lettuce.
