    Good italian dressing recipe?
    I am sooo tired of the italian dressings in the grocery store.
    I rarely use italian dressing but when I do I shake the bottle and before I can even start to pour it the oil is already separated and back on the top. I end up with a hoagie full of oil and no dressing. I have to pour half the bottle out just to be able to get a decent bit of dressing.
    I don't like the packets you mix either because they taste really salty...

    What is a good recipe??

    Thank you!

    curlybenswife
    1/4 cup distilled white vinegar
    3 Tbls. Water
    2 tsp. granulated sugar
    1 tsp. lemon juice
    1 tsp. garlic salt
    1 tsp. onion salt
    1 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
    2 tsp. minced fresh parsley OR 1 tsp. dried parsley flakes
    1/2 tsp. minced fresh basil OR 1/4 tsp. dried basil
    1/2 tsp. minced fresh oregano OR 1/4 tsp. dried oregano
    1/2 tsp. minced fresh thyme OR 1/4 tsp. dried thyme
    1/2 cup olive oil

    In a bottle or cruet, shake together all ingredients, except oil until well blended and salts have dissolved.
    -Add oil and shake to mix.
    -Store covered in the refrigerator.

    I do recommend you buy yourself an extreamly good extra virgin olive oil a decent oil should taste fab on its own and not leave a slick in your mouth. It is worth spending a good amount of money on one the taste difference is very much like a good bottle of wine.
