You can add some grated Parmesan cheese for a thicker and creamier dressing. The classic combination of ingredients is cured meats, onions, cucumbers, olives, and tomatoes. Adding a bit of fresh garlic or crushed red pepper can enhance the flavors even more.
You can also use other types of vinegar, such as champagne, balsamic, or sherry. Using different kinds of vinegar will allow you to change the flavors of your salad to suit your taste. Lastly, add some crushed red pepper for a bit of heat.
Dried Italian herbs
Italian herbs are used in Italian dressing recipes to flavor a dish. We gave you our secret recipe, but you can be creative. Your herb mix can be dried or mixed with fresh herbs to create a savory salad dressing.
It is essential to store your herb mix properly. Fresh or dried herbs should be kept in an airtight container to retain their freshness. You can store the dried herbs for about two years in a sealed jar.
Dried Italian herbs are also available in bulk. This is a convenient way to save time. Store-bought Italian seasoning blends can be purchased from restaurant supply stores or grocery stores.
The traditional five ingredients of Italian seasoning are basil, thyme, rosemary, oregano, and marjoram. Many recipes will call for a specific ratio of each ingredient. Other ingredients can be added to the mixture to increase the variety.
Dried oregano is one of the most popular Italian herbs. This robust herb is often used to flavor meats and pizza sauces. However, it has a slightly bitter, earthy flavor.
Store it in the fridge.
While it's not an exact science, the best way to store your Italian dressing is to keep it in the fridge. This ensures that it's not exposed to light or microbes.
You'll want a glass or plastic container with a tight lid to store your dressing. You can also choose to use a wide-mouth mason jar.
Depending on your ingredients, your dressing may last for weeks or months. The quality will certainly decline, however.
One of the more interesting aspects of Italian dressing is how the flavor evolves with time. Many of the ingredients act as natural preservatives.
Store the dressing in an airtight container in your refrigerator. Make sure that it has a label with the date of production. If you don't have a stick blender, you can easily mix the dressing with a regular blender.
Make sure that you shake the jar before using it. A good shake can refresh the consistency of your dressing and give it a new life.
