Salads can be a great way to get in a variety of nutrients, using colorful veggies, crisp greens, and tasty dressing.

The problem with most store-bought dressings is the added flavoring, thickeners, stabilizers, and preservatives. As someone who tries to stay away from most of those things, I’ve come to make most of my dressings from scratch. It’s all part of building a better salad!

This Italian dressing mix is super versatile and easy to change based on your taste buds. Use this as a starting point and change the herbs as you desire!

I love to use Italian dressing as a marinade on chicken, as well as the dried mix in a few of my favorite recipes like my Italian cream cheese chicken casserole, and I’ve recently started making my own so I can avoid the vegetable oils they put in store-bought products.
