    Tips & Tricks

    This basic salad dressing recipe is perfect for serving with green salads, grain and/or bean salads, pasta salads, lentil salads, corn salads and more.

    You can also use it for marinating vegetables before roasting or grilling, or for marinating tofu that has been very well drained, blotted and diced to use as a feta cheese substitute.

    Mix up the flavor by using your favorite flavored olive oils and vinegars. Some of my personal favorites and garlic olive oil and blood orange vinegar.

    Increase the amount of vinegar if your prefer a more pungent and tangy taste.

      What Italian spices should I use?

      Kris, there are ready-made Italian seasoning blends in the spice department for lazy cooks like me. But you can just use a pinch of oregano, basil, and thyme in this dressing if you prefer.
