Coconut Free Herb & Garlic Italian Dressing
Bright, tangy, and loaded with garden-herb flavor, this homemade Italian dressing is the kind of thing that makes you wonder why you ever bought a bottle at the store. Apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice give it a lively acidity, while oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary layer in that classic Italian depth. A pinch of ground ginger and turmeric add a subtle warmth that sets it apart from anything you'd find on a grocery shelf. The slow drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil brings it all together into a beautifully emulsified, slightly thickened dressing that clings to every leaf. Store-bought dressings can be a minefield of unexpected additives and oils, so knowing exactly what's going into yours is a genuine relief. It keeps in the fridge for up to a week, making it easy to prep ahead for salads, grain bowls, or drizzling over roasted vegetables all week long.
