Homemade Italian Dressing is a flavorful and versatile condiment originating from Italian cuisine. This tangy and herbaceous dressing typically combines olive oil, red or white wine vinegar, garlic, dried herbs like oregano and basil, salt, pepper, and occasionally Dijon mustard or a touch of honey for balance. Olive oil, the base of Italian dressing, is rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and antioxidants, making it a nutritious choice for salads and marinades. The vinegar adds a zesty kick while aiding digestion and nutrient absorption. Fresh garlic further boosts its health benefits with antibacterial properties and potential immune support. However, the sodium content in some recipes might be a concern, so moderate use is recommended for those monitoring their salt intake. Perfect for adding Mediterranean flair to meals, this dressing is a wholesome alternative to many store-bought options, provided it’s made with quality ingredients and enjoyed in moderation.
