    I needed this one – I just told Jim that I was "Salad-ed out" – I think it's because I was getting tired of just tossing them with OO and balsamic…need a new dressing recipe. This looks like it gets kind of thick, which I like in a dressing…(need to do your poppyseed one, too, but I think I might be eating that one by myself:-).

    I made your homemade Italian Dressing today. I doubled it and used it to make pasta salad. It was a hit with everyone!

      I would make this as written, taste it and then adjust the red pepper until you have the level of "heat" or "zestiness" that you desire. I hope that helps!

    I made this I thought it had way to much lemon in it but that is just my personal opinion I love your recipe for ranch dressing though

    Delicious! Though, I only used half of a clove of garlic. Pretty sure putting three in there may have annihilated a small country from the garlic breath. 😀
