Italian Herb Dressing – Low-Calorie, LC, LF, GF

Homemade Italian herb dressing takes dressing to another level with a flavorful kick of herbs and spices.

Italian dressing goes well with so many vegetables, and it keeps salads light, while still being flavorful. If you’ve never made homemade salad dressings before, it’s simpler than you think.

What are the most common Italian herbs?

The most common Italian herbs are oregano, parsley, bay leaves, basil, sage, rosemary and thyme.

The base of Italian dressing is balsamic vinegar and olive oil. There are no added sugars, and all the ingredients blend so well together.

To make the dressing, start by mixing the salt and pepper, dried oregano, basil, and thyme together in a large mixing bowl. Then and in the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Whisk together until all the ingredients are combined well together.

Add the dressing to a dressing container or mason jar with lid sealed tight. Place in the fridge to chill and shake well before use.

How do I store homemade dressing?

Place dressing in a mason jar with tight fitting lid, or other dressing container with a tight lid. Properly stored, dressing will last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.
