Despite coming together in just a few minutes, this weeknight-friendly Italian salad dressing recipe has a bounty of complex flavors\u2014bold herbs, bright lemon and nutty Parmesan cheese\u2014that harmonize to produce a versatile accompaniment to various dishes.<\/p>\n<p>Our creamy Italian dressing recipe is great for tossing with your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dishes-beverages\/salads\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dishes-beverages\/salads\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">salads<\/a> but thick enough to slather on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/hearty-italian-sandwiches\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/hearty-italian-sandwiches\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Italian sandwiches<\/a>.

The low effort required to produce a batch of this versatile, creamy Italian salad dressing will inspire you to ditch the store-bought stuff for good.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for Creamy Italian Dressing<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Mayonnaise:<\/strong> This versatile condiment lends the dressing a smooth and creamy texture. Use your favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-mayonnaise\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-mayonnaise\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">store-bought mayo brand<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-mayonnaise\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-mayonnaise\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">make mayonnaise<\/a> for extra points.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Olive oil:<\/strong> High-quality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/olive-oil-vs-extra-virgin-olive-oil\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/olive-oil-vs-extra-virgin-olive-oil\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">extra virgin olive oil<\/a>, known for having a more robust flavor than regular olive oil, is an excellent base for salad dressings like this one. However, if you have only regular olive oil on hand, that works too.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Parmesan cheese:<\/strong> A few tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese (either freshly grated or store-bought) add sharp and nutty notes to the dressing. Cheese you grate yourself will be softer in texture than the pre-grated stuff and will melt into the dressing better.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Lemon juice and red wine vinegar:<\/strong> Both lemon juice and red wine vinegar bring lip-smacking acidity to creamy Italian dressing recipe.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Garlic:<\/strong> Minced garlic pairs beautifully with lemon juice, red wine vinegar and herbs. It gives just the right amount of punch to this homemade creamy Italian dressing.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Seasoning:<\/strong> Salt enhances the flavors of the other ingredients. Pepper adds a whisper of smokiness. And sugar brings a hint of sweetness.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Dried herbs:<\/strong> A medley of dried herbs\u2014pungent oregano, peppery basil and earthy parsley\u2014gives the creamy Italian salad dressing a range of complex flavors that play well with the components of crisp, fresh vegetables.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Mix the ingredients<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2049019\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Creamy-Italian-Dressing-TOHcom24_277135_MD_P2_09_06_1b.jpg\" alt=\"pouring wine vinegar in a large glass bowl\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Mark Derse for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a small bowl, whisk the mayo, olive oil and red wine vinegar.

A good rule of thumb for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/fresh-to-dried-herb-conversion\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/fresh-to-dried-herb-conversion\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">converting fresh to dried herbs<\/a> in recipes is 3 to 1: Use 3 teaspoons fresh to 1 teaspoon dried. So here you&#8217;d use 1-1\/2 teaspoons fresh herbs instead of 1\/2 teaspoon dried.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use other seasonings:<\/strong> For a more complex flavor, a good no-salt seasoning blend, like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/italian-seasoning\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/italian-seasoning\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Italian seasoning<\/a>, can replace the dried herbs in this creamy Italian salad dressing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make it lighter:<\/strong> If you prefer a less creamy dressing, cut the mayo in half or swap in avocado or Greek yogurt. Or, omit the creamy entirely and try our recipe for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/italian-vinaigrette\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/italian-vinaigrette\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">classic Italian dressing<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zest things up:<\/strong> To enhance the dressing&#8217;s flavor profile, add 1\/2 teaspoon mustard powder and 1\/2 teaspoon paprika.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Creamy Italian Dressing<\/h2>\n<p>This homemade creamy Italian dressing recipe can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Since the components separate once chilled, bring the dressing to room temperature when ready to use it and shake it well to re-combine the ingredients.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does creamy Italian dressing last?<\/h3>\n<p>Knowing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-long-do-condiments-last\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/how-long-do-condiments-last\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">how long condiments last<\/a> depends on whether they&#8217;re homemade or store-bought, what ingredients were used, the expiration dates and more. Like most homemade dressings, this creamy Italian salad dressing will last up to one week in the fridge.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze creamy Italian dressing?<\/h3>\n<p>Because the recipe contains mayo\u2014an oil-based emulsion that can break apart when frozen\u2014we don&#8217;t recommend freezing your creamy Italian dressing recipe.

A blender or food processor isn&#8217;t necessary, but you can use either to ensure this homemade creamy Italian dressing is super emulsified.<\/p>\n<h3>What&#8217;s the best way to toss a salad?<\/h3>\n<p>While tongs are helpful, tossing a salad with your (clean) hands is one of the easiest ways to ensure every bite is evenly dressed.
