This looks fantastic! Pinning it and trying it soon.
Chrissie says
Thanks so much!!
Lee says
I put this on cheese tortellini salad that had veggies, mushrooms, and leftover roasted chicken + tomatoes. It was the perfect compliment!
The Busy Baker says
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the positive feedback!
Paula says
Love making homemade dressings and Italian is one of my favs.

Cheryl Sousan says
My husbands favorite dressing!! Can’t wait to make it for him!
Chrissie says
It’s my husband’s too!
Shelley says
My daughter isn’t a huge salad lover, but she does like creamy Italian on her greens. The problem is, bottled dressings can be so … meh. How much better to make your own at home! Thanks!
Chrissie says
So glad! Thanks so much!
Angie says
Yes, this dressing does look good and sounds good BUT when I made this to exact measurements, I let it sit in the fridge before tasting it and all I could taste was a strong vinegar taste. I had to make a quick change since I was taking this to a potluck. I took out half of the mix and replaced it with more mayonnaise and a little milk, then it tasted much better.
Chrissie says
Glad you figured out a way to make it work for you. We like a sharp Italian dressing, and when it’s on a salad the vinegar taste isn’t so strong anymore. 🙂
Josee says
I found the same thing I added mayo, sour cream, sugar and in the end I still had to add baking soda. I would redo this with half the white wine vinegar.
Elizabeth says
Not a fan of Italian Dressing, much less Creamy Italian. Never had it before. Don’t get the complaints about the vinegar, and not a big vinegar fan either. But this is DELICIOUS!
Elizabeth says
Recommend the vinegar nay-sayers try Rice Vinegar. Lighter and sweeter.
Chrissie says
Thanks!! We agree 😉
Andrea Draker says
This was the first time ever making a homemade salad dressing and I must say this one is delicious.
Chrissie says
Thanks so much! We love it too! 🙂
Nika says
Made this last night and it was delicious!
Chrissie says
So glad you loved it!
Mary H. says
Think this would be successful substituting yogurt the mayonnaise?
Chrissie says
I have used Greek yogurt in place of half the mayonnaise, yes 🙂 Give it a try!
Michelle Smart says
Yum, very good!
The Busy Baker says
So glad you liked this recipe!
Cheryl says
Such a great taste! If I want to thicken it up do I add more mayo or??? Thx!
Chrissie says
Yes, absolutely 🙂
Carolyn Cahill says
Can you use Champagne vinegar & if you leave mayonnaise out, do you still use olive oil & vegetable oil?
Chrissie says
You can use champagne vinegar, yes. 🙂
Celtics7cK'20 says
Yuuuuum …. I love delicious Italian dressing recipe. But I add more Ricotta Cheeses, Asian oil (Wijen), Soy Souce & Mirin. Wouuuuw yummmmy. Thanks so much.
Chrissie says
Glad you liked it! 🙂
Sandra says
this was delicious…no complaints about flavour however it was very runny. I followed the recipe exactly using measuring cups/spoons etc and didn’t change any ingredients or volumes. It was refrigerated for at least 2 hours before serving but was so thin and liquidy that I added more mayo and parm hoping to thicken it. Didn’t help that much but was still super tasty. I used Bertoli Olive oil and Helman’s full fat may btw. What did I do wrong?? I’d love to make this again as it tasted so great but it was way too thin.
Chrissie says
It’s not a super thick dressing (it’s not American-style like ranch, etc.), so that’s probably why.
Melissa says
I use an immersian blender and it helps thicken it a bit more.
meng says
This looks fantastic! Pinning it and trying it soon.
Joan Mohr says
Love this! We are big fans of making everything from scratch and this is soooo bursting with flavor with wonderful ingredients. Bet it would go wonderfully on baked potato or steamed veggies also, or chicken. Thank you so much.

Nancy says
Made this Italian dressing tonight to go with our salad — it’s quick and easy with a wonderful taste. Love how the honey balances the tartness of the dressing. Definitely a go-to recipe from now on.
The Busy Baker says
Thanks so much Nancy!! Glad you like it!
Melissa says
This has become my go to recipe! I haven’t bought bottled dressing since shelter in place started in March! So much better to make at home. I mostly stick to the measurements, but vary it depending on mood (sometimes less parmesan, sometimes more vinegar instead of lemon…when I don’t feel like squeezing). It’s sooo easy! Thank you!
The Busy Baker says
Happy to hear you like the recipe so much!
Rogers Williams says
That’s look wonderful. Going to make it tomorrow. Going to bookmark your website right now.
The Busy Baker says
Let us know how it turns out!🙂
Farha says
Instead of parmesan cheese can I use mozzarella cheese and vegetable oil instead of olive oilq
The Busy Baker says
I wouldn’t recommend either one of those substitutions as they would seriously change the flavour profile of the dressing. The parm is a hard, matured cheese with a strong, distinct flavour while mozzarella is a soft cheese that is very mild in flavour(it’s great for melting though). Also, olive oil is a flavourful oil while vegetable oil is a neutral one. For a salad dressing that doesn’t call for parm or olive oil check out my Creamy Vinaigrette. Enjoy! https://thebusybaker.ca/spinach-salad-with-creamy-vinaigrette/

Gabriele Veldtrup says
Hi! I very rarely comment on a recipe. But his recipe deserves 10 stars! You see, even when I follow a recipe to the letter I have never been able to get the results I hoped for. And although I can cook I have yet to master salad dressings! So I was elated when after following the recipe, the salad dressing turned out perfect! And sooooo delicious! I’m still in shock that it actually turned out soo great! Thank you for sharing! This recipe I’ll definitely make again!
Chrissie says
I’m so glad you liked it!! 🙂

I’ve been using this recipe for my pasta salads for a few years now and it’s ALWAYS a hit! I even have had requests. It is absolutely delicious and so flavorful!
The Busy Baker says
Thanks for your review Shannon!!
Jeanne Berryhill says
We LOVED the flavor of this dressing but are used to the thicker consistency of a ranch dressing, for example. What would you suggest to thicken it a bit without altering that heavenly flavor?
Chrissie says
I’d recommend adding a bit more mayo if you want to thicken it up, although this will dilute the flavours a bit.
Welder Stream says

There was a restaurant in Charleston SC Garibaldi’s, that closed after 35 years of success. They served a hearts of palm salad with a tangy creamy Italian dressing that I miss so much. Your recipe is almost identical. It is now my go to salad dressing. The key is letting it refrigerate overnight. Thanks for this recipe!

I’ve made this salad dressing several times now. The flavor is the right combination of tangy, salty, and sweet. It coats the salad nicely, too. It lasts us usually about 3-4 nights. My husband loves it, too. Thanks much.

Italian Dressing
This tangy, bell pepper-and-herb flecked salad dressing is a favorite in many American restaurants. But “dressing” as Americans know it doesn’t exist in Italy—there, salads are exclusively dressed with oil and vinegar, or sometimes just oil.
Chrissie says
Yes, I agree 🙂 This is definitely a North American-style Italian dressing.
Fred says
I just went and bought those Mason jars. Love them!
The Busy Baker says
We too!!😄

Glad you liked the recipe Mimi!!
Ken says
I replied a couple of months ago. In the meantime I’ve changed a few things which doesn’t change the taste. I’m using vegan Mayo (I’m not a vegan I have heart disease) to lower fat content as well as light olive oil. For convenience I use Italian herbs already mixed rather than each herb separately. I was surprised the Mayo didn’t change the flavor. After 2 months of use, I’m still addicted to it. Truly the best salad dressing I’ve ever had!
The Busy Baker says
Thanks so much Ken for your feedback! Glad you still love the recipe!🙂

Allison says
I’ve made this countless times as a low-carb/keto-friendly salad dressing. I prefer to make it in the blender for smoother consistency — it comes together quickly and beautifully. I use avocado oil mayo for the healthy fats.
It’s wonderful as written, but I do omit the honey (or sub a low carb sweetener like Lakanto) based on my dietary preferences. I’ve also played with the vinegars. The white wine vinegar is great, but it’s also good with apple cider vinegar or a 50/50 combo of the two.
The Busy Baker Team says
We’re so happy you enjoyed it! Your vinegar idea sounds good. Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback!
Terri says
What other vinegars would you recommend? I want to make this but do not have white wine vinegar.
Thank you.
The Busy Baker Team says
You can use apple cider or red wine vinegar.

I have been looking for the perfect Italian Dressing. So glad I finally found. Made exactly except used my sugar substitute instead of honey. I read comments about too vinegary. I disagree but I added more sweetener so that probably made a difference. Thanks for the recipe.

My new favorite homemade dressing. This was phenomenal. I made as-is except I tasted it before adding any vinegar, and it was so delicious I just left it out.

Anita E Blog says
Classic Creamy Italian Salad Dressing is a delicious, easy-to-make recipe that is perfect for any salad. This dressing is made with olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, and a variety of spices. It is also dairy-free and can be made with vegan mayonnaise.
To make this dressing, simply combine all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. You can also whisk the ingredients by hand if you prefer. If you want a thinner dressing, add more olive oil or vinegar until you reach the desired consistency.
This dressing is great on any type of salad, but it pairs especially well with greens and roasted vegetables. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for bread or as a flavorful addition to pasta dishes. You can even use it as a sandwich spread.
Thank you so much for sharing.

Joan says
Just wondering if it would alter the taste if I used fresh herbs instead of dried. Recipe looked amazing though.
The Busy Baker Team says
You can use fresh herbs but you will need to adjust the measurement. You have to use 3 times the amount of dry herbs required. Hope this helps. Let us know how it turns out!
Cute Baby Girl Names says

Awesome Dressing! I used a fresh Thyme and Parsley with a little bit of Red Pepper flakes. I highly recommend it! This one is a winner!
