Bev, this is delicious! I made a double recipe and wouldn't change a thing. I made a huge amount of pasta salad (my husband's dad's recipe). I used 2 bottles of Italian dressing and discovered I was a bottle short and we were snowed in (370 foot+ driveway + 18 inches of snow). Daughter ate a huge container of it (in over a week plus), and commmented that it was especially good. When we got shoveled out I sent a good amount to his brother's family because I had made too much and didn't want it to go to waste. His SIL called and told us if we had anymore that we weren't going to eat to send it out, which we did, which the kids opened their frig and saw it and it slowly vanished before our eyes...lol. This is a great-tasting Italian dressing, very inexpensive & easy to make, keeps well, and is even better than the bottled dressing. Thanks for sharing.

This was a very quick and easy dressing to put together.Next time I would cut back on the oil to maybe 1/2 cup.I also used 1/8 cup balsamic vinegar & 1/8 cup white vinegar instead of the cider vinegar.Also added was about 1 tsp Italian Seasoning.I used the dressing on a salad a couple of days ago.But I am now going to use up the rest by making it into a chicken marinade.I'll let you know how that works out.
