Homemade Italian salad dressing

Eating your greens will be very easy with this homemade Italian salad dressing, it tastes delicious!

My family says this is the best homemade Italian salad. It’s inspired by the famous Olive Garden Italian salad dressing.

This salad with homemade dressing is easier than you imagine and the best thing is that you choose the quality of the ingredients to make it.

It’s a great side to serve with lasagna or spaghetti. Sometimes I also paired it with pizza or grilled chicken breast and it’s delicious!
