I have been making it for a few years now and love how convenient it is to keep on hand. It is easy peasy to mix up and can be stored for months in a Ziploc bag or air tight container.
This is my go to dressing when I make Pasta Salad.Β My good friend Toni let me in on a little secret that Seasoned Rice Wine Vinegar instead of white or red in Italian Salad dressing is the bomb. I haven’t made it any other way since. You’ve got to try it.
- 2 tbsp salt
- 2 tbsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp garlic salt
- 1 tbsp white sugar
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried basil
- ¼ tsp dried thyme
- ¼ tsp celery salt
- Combine all ingredients and mix until completely combined
- Store in an air tight container or a Ziploc baggie
- Makes approx 8 tbsp of mix
- To mix dressing:
- two tbsp dry seasoning mix
- three tbsp water
- one fourth cup vinegar (I use seasoned rice wine vinegar)
- one half cup oil (I use canola)
I got this recipe from allrecipes. If you are looking for other awesome homemade salad dressings try these :

I store the dry mix in a small Ziploc in my spice drawer. I put a piece of masking tape with dressing recipe on it so I don’t have to try and remember the proper amounts every time I make it.
My favorite type of vinegar to use when making the dressing is seasoned rice wine vinegar.Β It is so good. My friend Toni who is Italian told me to use it, and I have never looked back!
Keep it Real!
In the instructions section the ingredients are missing amounts. Please advise
fixed it! Thanks for letting me know!
Oooo doing this today! We’re out of store bought dressing (which hubby loves and prefers), but as I read I see SO many other places to use it!
π Yeah!!! I really love the homemade, especially with seasoned rice wine vinegar….so yummy!
Thank you for this! I hate using mixes with preservatives so this is perfect.
You are welcome Shelley, glad you like it and thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know!
I’m so glad I found your instructions for both seasoning mix and dressing. I’m on a low iodine diet because I’m preparing my body for thyroid cancer therapy next week. I can’t have store bought dressing, so I’ve made this with plain salt, have a chicken breast marinating in it and some no-yolk noodles boiling. I can’t wait to eat! I’m getting tired of oatmeal, bananas and homemade applesauce. π
I am so glad you found it too. I hope everything goes well with your therapy next week. Good luck. …and your dinner sounds like it is going to be delicious! π
Oh, it was SO good! I only made enough for myself, and after everyone got a taste, it’s on the menu for Friday night! π
Delicious! My new go to for just about everything I make π I love cooking for food that is natural made food with out the preservatives. Too many allow frozen dinners and fast food take over their lives. Thank you for sharing this Maria!!!!
Yay, so glad you like it and find the recipe so useful, Renee. Thank you so much for coming back to let me know you liked it.
