I wanted to make the Zippy Chicken last week, but had run out of Italian dressing. I made this, using the bottle from the store-bought dressing. It was excellent!!!
Zesty Italian Dressing Recipe
Ingredients
1 cup of the vinegar (any type is fine, whether apple cider vinegar, wine vinegar, rice vinegar, etc...) {I used white vinegar}
1 1/3 cup of olive oil or other oil (I usually do half olive oil, half cheaper oil) {I used half EVOO & half vegetable oil}
2 tablespoons of water
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon onion powder {I added 1 TBSP of chopped dried onions instead}
1/2 tablespoon honey, white sugar, or sucanat {I used granulated sugar}
1 tablespoons dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 tablespoon dried parsley {I used Italian spice mix instead of the oregano & basil}
1 tablespoons salt
Instructions
1. Pour ingredients into a glass jar or bottle with a cover. You may need to use a funnel, in which case pour the dry things in first before the liquids.
2. Cover and shake well.
3. Use, or refrigerate for up to 90 days.
4. Enjoy!
P.S. If you leave out one or two of the spices, it'll still taste terrific.
P.P.S. The texture is exactly like the bought stuff.
