Italian dressing is a zesty, flavorful salad dressing originating from Italian-American cuisine. Typically made with olive oil or vegetable oil, vinegar (often red wine or white wine vinegar), lemon juice, and an array of herbs and spices such as oregano, basil, garlic, and parsley, it offers a tangy taste that pairs well with salads, marinades, or roasted vegetables. Its base of oil contains healthy fats, particularly if olive oil is used, which can support heart health. However, store-bought versions may include added sugars, sodium, and preservatives, which can detract from its nutritional value. Opting for homemade Italian dressing allows better control of ingredients and offers a fresher, healthier option. Popular across cuisines for its bold flavor, Italian dressing balances savory and acidic notes, making it a versatile addition to many meals. Moderation is key when enjoying this dressing as part of a balanced diet.
