Delish! Easy to make. Gets better as the flavors meld. I did add 2-3 drops of hot sauce. Used it over a salad of greens, kalmata olives, tomatoes, parmesan strips, red onion. YUMMY!! -
OMG this was good, made this for My 3 Chef's Game-08 with an Italian theme and soooo glad I did. I did have to sub a little bit, could not find italian seasoning (in Italy??) so used a mix of oregano and basil, then didn't have cider vinegar so used balsamic. Poured it over a huge salad and with recipe #145336 (also used this to prepare that recipe) and steamed white rice, what a great dinner - DH is still complementing me. We even had enough left over to use for dipping sauce with a crusty italian loaf of bread. Thanks so much TL for a GREAT recipe that was simple to make with clear instructions. -
Good dressing! I only used about half the olive oil, and I thought that was plenty. Thanks for sharing!

This is now my fav dressing for anything. I stuck with the recipe but using balsamic vinegar instead of the cider and poured it over a simple salad of sliced cucumber, tomato, and mushrooms. A couple of days later, I poured the remaining dressing into a resealable bag with a couple of thick pork chops, marinaded the meat over night, and finished them on the grill and the dressing worked again. My next test is pasta. -
This is good. I would try another recipe for Italian dressing next time though. I used this in a pasta salad. I used unrefined extra virgin olive oil, organic apple cider vinegar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon peel grated on the fine side of my box grater and freshly ground black pepper in place of the lemon pepper, regular mustard, plus the rest of the ingredients.
