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.
