Active Time: 10 minutes • Total Time: 15 minutes
Yields: 4 Side Salads
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves minced or pressed garlic
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic salt
- 3/4 teaspoon dried parsley
- 3/4 teaspoon dried basil
- Pinch of dried oregano
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Combine all dressing ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake jar well until all ingredients are blended. Let stand 15 minutes, allowing flavors to blend, then shake again.
Assemble the Salad:
Place the contents of one package of Earthbound Farm Organic Italian Salad in a bowl. Drizzle on a small amount of your homemade Italian Dressing and toss to coat and serve. For a more robust Divinely Easy Italian Salad, add halved cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, pepperoncini, and diced red onion, for example. But use any veggies you like. Maybe some grated Parmesan or diced salami for heft and croutons or toasted nuts for crunch. Add these to the bowl, drizzle again with your dressing, toss lightly and serve to cries of “Brava!”
