EAT FAT BEAT FAT

    CREAMY ITALIAN DRESSING

    MAKES 1½ cups (350 ml)

    PREP TIME: 5 minutes

    COOK TIME: —

    Yes, you could make this dressing with fresh ingredients like crushed garlic, fresh thyme, and/or fresh basil, but that would take a lot of time and cost more. My vote? Double the recipe—or heck, even triple it—and spend less money eating more fat.

    ¾ cup (180 ml) light-tasting oil, such as avocado oil or light olive oil

    ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons (80 g) mayonnaise

    3 tablespoons red wine vinegar

    1 tablespoon distilled vinegar

    1 tablespoon lemon juice

    1 tablespoon onion powder

    1½ teaspoons dried basil

    1½ teaspoons ground black pepper

    ¾ teaspoon garlic powder

    ¾ teaspoon dried oregano leaves

    ¾ teaspoon dried thyme leaves

    ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes

    ¼ teaspoon finely ground sea salt

    1. Place all the ingredients in a 16-ounce (475-ml) or larger airtight container. Cover and shake until incorporated.
    2. When ready to serve, give the container a little shake and enjoy.

    STORE IT: Keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.

    make it EGG-FREE/VEGAN:

    Use egg-free mayonnaise (see recipe on here).

    make it LOW-FODMAP:

    Omit the onion and garlic powder.

    make it NIGHTSHADE-FREE:

    Omit the red pepper flakes.

    MAKE IT AT HOME

    Replace store-bought mayonnaise with my homemade version.
