Mustard Free Herb & Garlic Italian Dressing
Bright, herby, and full of bold Mediterranean flavor, this homemade Italian dressing is the kind of thing that makes you wonder why you ever bought a bottle. Most store-bought Italian dressings sneak mustard into the emulsification process, which makes them completely off-limits for anyone avoiding it — but this version achieves that same silky, slightly thickened consistency by slowly whisking in the olive oil by hand. The combination of oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary gives it serious depth, while apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice keep it bright and tangy. A touch of honey rounds out the acidity without making it sweet, and the ground ginger and turmeric add a subtle warmth that sets it apart from anything you'd grab off a shelf. It comes together in just a few minutes and keeps in the fridge for up to a week, so you can drizzle it over salads, use it as a marinade, or dunk crusty bread into it all week long. Shake it up before each use and you're good to go.
