Italian Salad Dressing From Scratch

June 14, 2011 by Dave 7 Comments

This is a simple Italian Salad Dressing I have made from scratch for many years without changing it.  You can’t go wrong with it.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 Cup – Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2 Cup – Water
  • 3 Cloves –  Fresh Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Teaspoon – Garlic Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon – Salt
  • 1/2 Teaspoon – Black Pepper
  • 1 Teaspoon – Dean & Jacobs Sicilian Blend Italian Seasoning, Finely Ground
  • 1 Each – Lemon, Juiced

Preparation

Combine ingredients into a vessel that has a small orifice, so that it is shaken to deliver all the great flavors into each serving.

This simple salad dressing reminds me of the dressing at Doe’s Eat Place in Greenville, Mississippi.  Mrs. Florence Signa, Doe Signa, III’s aunt, has been making that dressing for 60 years.  I believe “Aunt Florence” still lives in the home down the street from where I grew up on Greenway Street.  The difference is that SHE’s famous now!

I’m Dave Sherman. I’m a Texan, an Italian, a construction program manager, a construction expert witness, a musician and praise team leader, but most importantly … I am a husband, a father of three and grandfather of ten grandchildren. The love for my family led me to begin a tradition of cooking for them every Sunday evening. There is a built-in grandkid visit, as well as time for the adults to network each week.

I hope 52SundayDinners.com makes it easier for you to form a tradition for your family as well. We provide the schedule and the recipe. You provide the table, the ingredients and the love for YOUR family. Enjoy!
