Rice Free Herb & Garlic Italian Dressing
Bright, herby, and deeply savory, this homemade Italian dressing is the kind of thing that makes a simple green salad feel like something special. Apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice give it a lively tang, while dried oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary layer in that classic Italian flavor profile you want on everything from grilled vegetables to crusty bread dipping. A touch of honey balances the acidity without making it sweet, and ground ginger and turmeric add a subtle warmth that sets it apart from anything you'd grab off a store shelf. Whisking the olive oil in slowly creates a beautifully emulsified dressing that clings to every leaf rather than pooling at the bottom of the bowl. Bottled dressings often sneak in unexpected fillers and stabilizers, so making your own means you know exactly what's going in — and what's staying out. It comes together in just a few minutes, keeps in the fridge for up to a week, and honestly gets better as the garlic and herbs have time to meld.
