Whole 30 Whole30 Italian Dressing
Bottled Italian dressing is one of those sneaky condiments that almost always contains added sugar, preservatives, or other off-plan ingredients — which means salads can get boring fast when you're doing a round of clean eating. This homemade version fixes that problem in about two minutes flat. Extra-virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar form the tangy, glossy base, while dried oregano, basil, and thyme bring that classic Italian flavor you actually crave. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens everything up and gives it a little extra zip that store-bought versions rarely nail. Just shake it all together in a jar and you've got a dressing that works on salads, grilled vegetables, or anything else that needs a flavor boost. It makes eight servings, so you can keep a jar in the fridge all week and shake it up whenever you need it.
