Italian dressing is a true embodiment of Mediterranean traditions. Its history traces back to the warm kitchens of Italy, where the art of combining fresh ingredients is perfected. The taste of this dressing is a harmony of spices and tanginess, highlighted by the depth of olive oil. Garlic, oregano, basil, and marjoram create an aromatic symphony, while red wine vinegar adds a characteristic freshness. The secret to its delightful flavor lies in careful mixing that transforms the components into a delicate emulsion. It is perfect for salads, marinades, and even as a sauce for vegetables. This dressing can transform simple dishes by adding an authentic Italian touch. When stored in the refrigerator, it retains its richness for a week, allowing you to enjoy its flavor again and again.
