Italian Dressing

Italian Dressing

Everyday

Italian dressing is a zesty vinaigrette-style condiment characterized by its bold blend of herbs like oregano, basil, and garlic mixed with oil and vinegar or lemon juice. While commercial versions vary, authentic preparations emphasize fresh Mediterranean flavors and typically contain fewer additives than creamy dressings. Though lower in calories than mayonnaise-based alternatives, its oil content makes it calorie-dense, while some store-bought varieties may include added sugars. This versatile dressing doubles as a marinade for meats and vegetables.
