You can buy bottles of Italian dressing, or packets of dry Italian dressing, but why not save money and make your own homemade Italian dressing? Plus, then you know exactly what ingredients are in your dressing. It is much easier than you think. It tastes exactly like the packets of dry Italian dressing you get at the store. I always use this dressing bottle. It’s a bit old school, but I use it because it is the one my mom always used to use.
I like to make a double batch of all of the dry ingredients in the recipe and store it in an airtight container in my pantry so it is ready to go when I want to make some homemade Italian dressing. Two tablespoons of the dry mix is equal to a packet of dry Italian dressing mix.
