Seed Oil Free Herb & Garlic Italian Dressing
Bottled Italian dressings are one of the sneakiest places seed oils hide — canola, soybean, and sunflower oil show up in nearly every grocery store version. This homemade dressing skips all of that entirely, built on a base of extra-virgin olive oil that's bright, clean, and genuinely good for you. Apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice give it that punchy, tangy backbone, while a full lineup of dried herbs — oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary — makes it taste like something you'd find at a proper Italian table. A pinch of turmeric and ground ginger add a subtle warmth that sets it apart from anything you'd pour out of a bottle. Whisking the oil in slowly creates a lightly emulsified dressing that clings beautifully to greens instead of pooling at the bottom of the bowl. 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 spoon it over roasted vegetables all week long.
