Well, I told you all yesterday that I would share my recipe for homemade Italian dressing mix today. I like to make my own seasoning or dressing mixes as often as I can. Because when I can make my own, quality control belongs to me, salt and sugar control belongs to me and it’s pretty much always cheaper!! I like knowing exactly what’s in there!! No MSG or maltodextrin or who knows what you know!!?
This recipe is super easy to whip up and I pretty much always have all the ingredients on hand.
Here’s what you need:
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons oregano
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoons dried thyme leaves
1 teaspoon basil
1 tablespoon parsley
1 tablespoon salt
Combine all of this together and store in an airtight container.
When a recipe asks for one package of dry Italian dressing mix, you’ll use 2 tablespoons.
I love to dice up new potatoes, season them with salt and pepper, a little bit of olive oil Italian dressing mix and some Parmesan cheese and roast them in a 400 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes.
How do you turn this dry mix into Italian dressing??
That’s easy too!! Whisk together 1/4 cup white vinegar, 2/3 cup olive oil, and t tablespoons dry mix. Instead of whisking, I just put everything in a mason jar with a tight lid and shake until it’s combined well. You could also use canola oil or vegetable oil.
I use this to marinate chicken and throw it on the grill. It’s just so versatile and it’s basically FREE!
Enjoy!!!
