It takes less than 5 minutes to make! Simply add all ingredients to a bowl, then give it a whisk and that’s it. Who knew a creamy Italian dressing could be so easy to make at home?It’s rich and satisfying while still maintaining a light and bright flavor. Mayonnaise and olive oil make this dressing super creamy while white wine vinegar and lemon juice give it that irresistible tanginess!This dressing tastes great on garden salads, chef salads, caesar salads, or as a dip for fresh veggies! I love making a batch of this dressing at the beginning of my week and pouring it on all of my salads throughout the week.
Key Ingredients
Mayonnaise – Feel free to use any kind of mayonnaise you’d like in this recipe. I used a light mayonnaise and had delicious results. To make this vegan, use your favorite vegan mayonnaise instead. White Wine Vinegar – This slightly sweet and less acidic vinegar is the perfect addition to this creamy Italian dressing. White wine vinegar contributes to the bright and zesty flavor of this recipe. If you don’t have white wine vinegar, you can use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar instead. Italian Seasoning – Having a bottle of Italian seasoning in your cabinet at all times is a must! It contains every dried herb you’d ever need in any Italian recipe. Two teaspoons in this dressing is enough to add tons of amazing flavor.
Chef’s Tips
Store this salad dressing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you notice your creamy Italian dressing separating after refrigeration, simply give it a quick shake to combine again.If you’re not feeling up to mixing, you can add all ingredients to a blender or food processor and then pulse everything to combine! Leave this dressing to sit in the fridge a few hours before serving. Leaving it to sit will give the flavors time to develop, making it that much more delicious!
