I love making homemade salad dressing. There’s really no comparison between dressings you can buy from the store and ones you make at home the old fashioned way – shaken in a mason jar or blended in the blender.
This Classic Creamy Italian Salad Dressing is a recipe for the books! It’s got all the classic Italian dressing flavours and it goes perfectly with any garden salad. Add a sprinkling of fresh Parmesan and you’ll be in salad heaven!
Mason jars are a great kitchen tool to have on hand for recipes like this Classic Creamy Italian Salad Dressing. They’re airtight, so you don’t have to worry about spills, they’re dishwasher safe and easy to clean, and they’re great for more than just salad dressings – I use them for smoothies, homemade jams, soups, and other food storage.

- 2 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
- salt and pepper to taste
- a few tablespoons of water (ONLY IF NEEDED to thin the dressing out a little bit)
Instructions
-
Add all ingredients to a large mason jar and shake very well until combined. Store in the fridge for a few hours before serving, or serve immediately over your favourite garden salad.

If the dressing is too thick, simply add water one teaspoon at a time to thin it out to the desired consistency.
Recipe Notes
This salad dressing keeps in the fridge for up to 5 days, so make it a day or two ahead of serving to save time!
If you prefer to make salad dressing without mayonnaise, simply substitute the mayonnaise in this recipe for 1/4 cup of vegetable oil and shake very well (or blend for best results).
