30 minutes

Italian salad dressing is the essence of Mediterranean cuisine, where simplicity meets sophistication. Its history is rooted in traditional Italian culinary principles based on natural ingredients. The delicate yet rich combination of extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and fresh garlic creates a harmonious balance of flavors — a light tanginess, soft spiciness, and fruity notes. The dressing perfectly enhances the freshness of greens, turning an ordinary salad into a gastronomic masterpiece. It can be used not only for salads but also as a marinade for meat or vegetables, adding depth of flavor to any dish. Shaking the jar activates the magic of Italy — simple yet refined, like a stroll through the sunny streets of Tuscany.
