Homemade Italian Dressing
This bright and tangy Italian dressing is so much better than anything you can buy in a bottle.
recipesbynani.comThere is nothing quite like a fresh salad tossed in homemade vinaigrette. Once you try making your own dressing at home, you will see how easy it is to control the flavors and keep out all those extra preservatives.
My favorite thing about this recipe is that it stays fresh in the fridge for a long time. Just give the jar a good shake before you pour it over your greens to make sure all those lovely herbs are well mixed.
