Creamy and Delicious Italian Dressing (Perfect addition to Salads)

This creamy Italian Dressing goes great with almost any salad! It’s acidic, vibrant, and full of flavorful herbs.

This creamy Italian dressing recipe only requires a few simple ingredients and tastes far superior to store-bought dressing.

Why Is This Recipe So Delicious?

• It only takes 5 minutes to prepare! Simply combine all ingredients in a mixing basin and whisk to combine. Who thought making a creamy Italian dressing at home could be so simple?
• It’s filling and fulfilling while still tasting light and fresh. This dressing is creamy thanks to mayonnaise and olive oil, while the tanginess comes from white wine vinegar and lemon juice.
• This dressing is delicious on garden salads, chef salads, Caesar salads, and as a dip for raw vegetables! I love making a big batch of this dressing at the start of the week and pouring it over all of my salads.

Important Ingredients

Mayonnaise – In this recipe, you can use any type of mayonnaise you choose. I used a light mayonnaise and the results were fantastic. Use your favorite vegan mayonnaise to make this vegan.

White Wine Vinegar — This slightly sweet and less acidic vinegar complements the creamy Italian dressing perfectly.

This recipe’s bright and zesty flavor is enhanced by white wine vinegar. You can use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar if you don’t have white wine vinegar.

Italian seasoning – Always keep a bottle of Italian seasoning in your cabinet! Every dried herb you’ll ever need in an Italian recipe is included. This dressing only needs two teaspoons to provide plenty of flavor.

Chef’s Advice

• Refrigerate this salad dressing for up to 5 days in an airtight container. If your creamy Italian dressing separates after being refrigerated, give it a brisk shake to recombine.
• If you don’t feel like mixing, combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and pulse to combine!
• Allow this dressing to chill for several hours before serving. Allowing it to sit for a while allows the flavors to meld, making it even more delectable!
