Copycat Italian Salad Dressing
5
NWMama
"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."

I used red wine vinegar and home dried tomatoes instead of bell peppers. I also added some minced garlic. Then instead of all basil, I added half basil and half oregano.

A very nice Italian dressing recipe. Good job getting the flavor right. I made it less tart and less sweet to fit my taste profile and added some garlic. 1 tsp of dry mustard helps it emulsify
