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.

ITALIAN SALAD DRESSING



Italian Salad Dressing image

This is so easy to make and it's 'delicioso'! And no un-pronouncable ingredients...so you know it's gotta be healthier than the dressing you buy at the supermarket. I use whatever kind of vinegar I happen to have on hand - each different kind lends a slightly different character to the dressing. The half hour "cooking time" is actually time spent in the refrigerator before use, although I have used this dressing right after mixing it up.

THE REALTOR'S PARMESAN SALAD DRESSING

What a great dressing this one is. It's very thick and almost like a dip. To thin it down, I add a little bit of milk until I get it to the consistency I like. You can do the same thing and make it just the way you like it- thick or thin- you choose.

ITALIAN DELI PASTA SALAD



Italian Deli Pasta Salad image

This pasta salad has all my favorite things from the Italian deli - a trio of meats, a mix of cheeses, and giardiniera. I like to switch it up and use other meats like prosciutto, hot calabrese, or mortadella. Giardiniera comes in mild and hot varieties; use whichever you prefer. A good-quality Italian dressing makes a difference too!
