This homemade Italian vinaigrette (on the right in the photo) is my favorite salad dressing. It looks great and tastes great and it is so easy to make. I sometimes find that store-bought dressings can be a bit too vinegary. The beauty of making my own versions at home is that I can easily adjust the amount of vinegar. This has the right balance of vinegar and spices. I love it.

Homemade Catalina and Italian Salad Dressings

Better With Time

This homemade Italian vinaigrette gets better with time as the flavors ‘get happy’. I like to give the dried spices time to flavor the dressing. Make sure you give it a good, long shake before serving.

Shown on the left is my homemade Catalina dressing.

I needed creamy Italian dressing for a recipe I was making. I searched all over my local grocery store and couldn’t find any. I ran across this simple yet tasty version that goes great on sandwiches or salads. Yep, I said ‘sandwiches’. One of my favorite sandwiches uses a variation of this dressing instead of mayonnaise. For some reason the thought of that had never occurred to me. I wish it had because this really changes any sandwich… for the better.

Give It A Rest

This creamy Italian dressing really needs to sit overnight in the fridge to “get happy”. The spices need to have time to flavor it. Make sure that you give it a really good shake or two before serving.
