Receta Clean Eating Italian Dressing
I wanted to keep this recipe very simple. I thought I could just add some basic Italian herb and be done with it. But that’s not how it worked out.
Italian herb is an herb mix you can pick up in the spice aisle at your local grocery store. Most stores carry it, and it makes life a little easier. I use it for a lot of recipes and it’s always a delicious blend.
I had hoped to use just that herb blend in this dressing but in the end, I added a little extra basil and a few other ingredients as well. I left the honey as an optional ingredient because I know a lot of folks watching their carbs and sugars read this blog. But it does add a nice flavor if you want it.
If kept in the fridge, this dressing will last quite a while, but you’ll want to let it sit out on the counter a bit before using it just so you can shake it up well before putting it on your salad.

Note that it is best to let this sit for 24 hours before using for the first time. This gives the herbs time to infuse into the oil. Shake well before every use.
