Italian Salad Dressing
• This dressing pairs well with green salads, pasta salads, grain bowls, and roasted vegetables. • For a milder flavor, reduce the garlic or use garlic powder. • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Health Benefits: Olive oil provides heart-healthy monounsaturated fats that support cardiovascular health. Vinegars and herbs add flavor with minimal calories, making it easier to enjoy vegetables and salads. Garlic contains beneficial plant compounds that support overall health, while homemade dressings allow greater control over sodium and added sugars compared with many store-bought options.
