Delicious Homemade Italian Dressing

Zippy, zesty Homemade Italian Dressing is delicious on salads and makes an excellent marinade...plus it's all-natural and easy to make! You'll never go back to bottled Italian Dressing once you've tasted this.

Ingredients 

• 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil OR avocado oil
• 1/4 cup white wine vinegar OR red wine vinegar OR a combo of the two
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 to 2 teaspoons honey
• 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
• 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
• 3/4 teaspoon dried parsley
• 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano
• Pinch of red pepper flakes
• Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Measure all ingredients into a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake vigorously until well-blended and emulsified. Taste and adjust seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if necessary. (Alternatively, you may whisk ingredients together in a bowl, process ingredients in a mini food processor, or blend them in a blender.) Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator; allow to come to room temperature and shake well before using.

Notes

The honey mellows out the acidity of the dressing, but you may add more or less, to taste.
