I didn’t have apple cider vinegar, but I had white vinegar. I doubled the sugar for the flavor. Tastes phenomenal!
Yvonne Odom
I made no changes. We loved the flavour of our salad using this italian salad seasoning! I love that I have a nice amount of leftover salad seasoning for at leat three more salads!

A simple and tasty dressing that can be used for a variety of things, from salad dressing to marinades. Not sure what was meant by “lite”, because this dressing is no lighter in calories than any other full-fat dressing. This could easily be tailored to your persona preferences. Next time I will add some minced garlic or garlic powder.

I could not get mine to mix correctly.

So easy! I didn’t have corn oil so added about 2 Oz more of the EVOO. Also added 1/4 tsp of basil and a dash of onion and garlic powders for a little more flavor. Perfect!

*Did not have EVOO, used veg oil instead. *Did not have corn oil, used veg oil instead. *Due to allergies, omitted oregano and used parsley (for color) instead. *Strong vinegar smell and taste but willing to try again using less vinegar.

I like to see an ingredients list use a consistent set of measures, so substituted 1/3 cup corn oil instead of 3 fluid ounces. For a light dressing, this one called for too much sugar and salt. I reduced sugar to 1 teaspoon and used organic brown sugar. I reduced salt to 1/4 teaspoon.
Leslie Hampton
Very good. I did double the spices because my family likes highly flavored food.
Joan Adams
I dumped this over my sliced cucumbers. Tastes great can’t stop eating them. It’s highly addictive!

Just finished so it hasn’t had time to blend and mesh. It is quite tangy. I did add a bit of minced garlic and used Italian seasoning instead of oregano. Looking forward to using it in my recipe.

This is not a lite dressing. It’s more than half fat!
Angel Copeland
I added 1 crushed garlic clove & substituted canola oil for the corn oil & made as listed. This recipe is fantastic & better than any I’ve tried. I’ve also found my new chicken marinade with this recipe. Very tasty, very well done!
Rodney Turner
I did embellish it a bit with fresh garlic, oregano and grated Parmesan. Nice basic Italian dressing
Todd Swanson
Excellent – very easy to make and store.
Alexander Simpson
Fast, fresh and delicious! Simple and no nonsense. I used all olive oil instead of corn oil and a tiny dash of stevia powder instead of sugar…
Jessica Morrison
Thank you so much for sharing this recipe ! i’ve been looking for a way to use up a bottle of apple cider vinegar I absolutely love this dressing! I used to buy bottled Italian dressing and cover my salads with a ton of Parmesan cheese for extra flavor…no more!

Wanted home made Italian dressing for a cold rice and bean salad. This fit the bill. Skipped the sugar and oil for health reasons. Had a packet of “Italian Spices” so I just used that. Easy and good.
Andre Bennett
Really, really good, but I did add seasonings. I substituted canola for corn oil because that’s what I had, and upped the oregano to 1 tsp. Also added 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder and two cloves fresh garlic, minced. Really great on the “Awesome pasta salad” from this site.
