Seeds Free Herb & Garlic Italian Dressing
Bright, tangy, and loaded with herby depth, this homemade Italian dressing is the kind of thing that makes a simple green salad feel like a proper meal. Extra-virgin olive oil forms the silky base, while apple cider vinegar and fresh lemon juice bring just the right amount of punch without overpowering everything else on the plate. Garlic, oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary layer together beautifully, and a touch of honey rounds out the acidity in the most satisfying way. Many store-bought dressings sneak in sesame, poppy, or other seeds — sometimes without obvious labeling — so making your own from scratch is genuinely the smartest move when you need to keep things seed-free. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and easy to verify, which means you can drizzle freely without second-guessing the label. It comes together in just a couple of minutes with a whisk and a jar, and it keeps in the fridge for up to a week, making it a brilliant prep-ahead staple for weekday lunches and dinner salads alike.
