Zesty Italian Dressing Spice Mix

YUM! Thanks for posting this one, Sharon! I mixed some up and used it to make the dressing as you suggested. I added extra vinegar, as that's how I always make mine. I love that you can control the salt and sugar in this recipe (I used Splenda).

Excellent spice blend that made a wonderful light tasting Italian dressing with the perfect blend of spices. I made this up today to use on my salads at work this coming week. Instead of the EVOO I used Canola Oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil Blend that had Omega-3 DHA added which worked so well with this recipe and made it a little healthier for me. I used Splenda as a sub for the sugar to lower the calories a little more. Thanks so much for sharing. Made for PRMR :)

Nice spice mix. I made it as directed and made the dressing with it. The dressing was very herby...not quite Italian tasting to me. I'm going to try the spice mix on chicken like you suggested and see if I like it better that way. Freddy Cat says hi! Made in honor of Sharon's husband via kittencalskitchen.com.

This was yummy dressing. The blend of spices are really exceptional. I am glad it made for quite a bit of mix. When I mixed with the oils and vinegars I had cut back a bit on the oil part, more like half and half. Next time I would add extra vinegar to make it a bit more tangy. But it was a great dressing for just a simple salad. Had this salad with Recipe #430182 and it went great together. Thanks so much for a delicious lunch Sharon, thanks for sharing.

PERFECT!! Well with a minor adjustment...extra vinegar when putting the dressing together. I did make it well ahead of time to let all the flavors come out. I absolutely love that there is like three more spice mixtures sitting in the pantry standing by. Very quick to throw together as well....add oil, little less vinegar, and a little less water with two scoops spice! I put it in an old dressing bottle & we are in business!! Thanks Sharon!!

I am not a fan of pre-bottled salad dressings. The ingredients alone on the bottle will tell you why. As a result, I really like to make my own from scratch. Italian dressing has to be one of my favorites, so I was really pleased to try this one. I will say, I like this dressing mix more after it sat for a couple hours or so. I used the dressing on some greens right after I mixed it up, and the dried spices were still a little "dried". I might cut back a tad on the oregano next time. I also think I will add a bit more vinegar, as another reviewer suggested, I like it really tangy. I have been using this dressing on my salad all week, with a little bit of nutritional yeast sprinkled over the top as well.

This is so easy to make - and completely fits my love of homemade dressings! The flavour is fantastic, too! Nice and zesty, lots of herbs, garlic - it's all there! I used Lindas Cajun Spice Mix for the cajun seasoning, and as I didn't have onion powder, used onion flakes. Perfect! Thanks so much for posting, Sharon! Recipenapped for Veggie Swap 21.

I haven't used this as a dry rub, but I really enjoyed it as a salad dressing mix. Easy to put together, and delicious. Thanks for sharing!

So far I've used this mixture to make the salad dressing and loved it. It all comes together very quickly. Why buy commercial dressing when this is so easy? I'll be trying it as a rub soon, too. Made for Alphabet Soup Tag.

Made up the spice mix for this recipe to use more as a blend to shake on veggies, meats etc... flavor combination is wonderful. To be honest, I don't know if I will ever make it into the salad dressing as intended, because it probably won't last in the cabinet long enough. Thanks for Sharing Sharon.
