Italian Herb Salad Dressing

This is another of those "empowering" recipes! I make a simple dish in which you pour a bottle of Italian dressing over chicken breasts and bake. It's one of my daughter's favorites. I used this recipe for the dressing and it was a hit! Thanks Inez for giving me the way to make this from scratch and eliminate more preservatives from my family's diet!

My all-time favorite salad dressing is the Italian Seasonings Dressing Mix that you make in the cruette. Well, this is just as good, if not better and definitly less expensive than paying almost $1.50 for one packet of mix. Thanks Inez, for another great recipe!

This is a good, tangy salad dressing. I served it with a green salad. I am happy that MIL (a gourmet cook) tasted it an approved.

Inez, you've done it again! I hate buying bottled dressings that taste way too salty and are full of preservatives and second-rate ingredients. Well, now I know exactly where to turn when I need a bit of Italian dressing for my next recipe or salad. Thanks!

This was very simple to make and tasted great! I used it in Beef Roast. The homemade italian salad dressing gave the beef roast gravy recipe a better flavor than storebought italian dressing. Very nice recipe.

This is a delicious Italian dressing, Inez! Made exactly as directed and let stand in the refridgerator for several hours to chill and allow flavors to combine. Served with tossed greens with avocado. Simple and delicious!

Great dressing with lots of flavor. I appreciate that it doesn't have mayonnaise in it--this is the real thing. I added more olive oil out of personal preference, but it was excellent even before I did.

Thank you MizzNezz! Very good quick Italian dressing. Left out the parmesan as I don't eat dairy, and added a few hot pepper flakes. Personally I thought it needed a smidge more vinegar, but that's just me. Just needed a bit more twang! But the spices/garlic are great. I have seen a lot of dressings calling for half this amount and I imagine they must be rather bland! Also love the red wine vinegar as opposed to cider. It does make the difference in my opinion! It DOES separate super fast!! Weirdly fast lol But I don't mind stirring and spooning!

This is absolutely wonderful. The key is no substitutions and to let it chill so that the flavors meld together. It tastes a lot like the dressing I had in Italy. Fresh ingredients are the stars of the recipe. The powders do not do any dressing justice.

I thought it was a bit too oily myself. And it seemed no matter how much I shaked it the dressing seemed to separate very quickly. The flavor was okay though. Salad turned out great. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

I'm currently in a remote area where I can't get to the supermarket very often. I made this for another recipe, and thought it was outstanding. Simple, I had ALL the ingredients and thte taste was great.

This dressing was ok.I found it a little too oily for my liking.I did not have red wine vinegar so I used white and balsamic,which also made it very vinegar-y.I don't know if it was just because I substituted but it was not quite what I was looking for. I just wanted to add that I didn't really like this recipe as a salad dressing but it's excellent as a marinade.I used it on pork loin chops,it would be great on chicken too.

Great dressing. One of the first I have ever made, and as easy as can be.

Very good salad dressing, I'm not a big fan of Italian but needed some for on my linguini salad so instead of going to the store head to recipzaar. It tasted great and I had everything in my cupboard. Will definitely make again and will even try on my salads, maybe I do like Italian after all. thank you MizzNezz for posting.

Lovely, smooth dressing that I will use to replace store bought. I used it the first time for a Wild Rice Salad and again for a Pasta Salad. Thanks

A pretty good basic dressing. I found the vineger flavor a little strong- maybe more sugar would help remedy this? All-in-all good. Thanks!

I threw this recipe together quickly to go with a really big sub sandwich for myself and my co-workers. We did have time to allow it to chill and let the flavors blend for which I am grateful for. I think chilling makes a really important difference in taste. I didn't have any fresh garlic on hand, so used garlic powder which worked very well in a pinch. I also included a little bit of onion powder just because it seemed right. (I am sure fresh garlic and onion will be much nicer next time I make this dressing, and yes, there will be a next time.) Thanks for a delicious and easy condiment to our sandwich. I can't wait to try it on a salad.

This is the best salad dressing. It is not only delicious, but healthy which is a real plus. I think that when I make it next I will add even more garlic. Thanks for the recipe.
