Homemade Italian Dressing Dry Mix

Homemade Italian Dressing Dry Mix is a breeze to keep on hand for healthy, gluten free, dairy free and low carb salad dressing any time!

If you have read many of my posts, you know by now that I love to have mixes on hand. Click on the “mixes” tag and you will see lots more. Homemade Italian Dressing Dry Mix is one of them.  I can make a large or small batch of dressing up for our salads or can add it to a recipe. 

I love to look in my spice cabinet after making up several mixes.  My mason jars lined up with homemade, healthy and cheap mixes makes me happy. 🙂  

I had the dressing on my lunch last week.  It is pictured below with Romaine lettuce, red pepper (affiliate link), onion, black olives (affiliate link), Feta cheese, Chicken Salad and Hard Boiled Eggs.

Keep the dressing at room temperature so the oil will not thicken.  Shake the mix well before measuring and as with any oil and vinegar dressing, shake the dressing well before using.

Yield of the dry mix is about 6 tablespoons, which will make 3 batches of dressing. Each batch is just about 1 cup.

2 Tablespoons of this mix equals 1 packet of a bought mix.

I originally got this recipe from allrecipes and made my own changes to it.

Ingredients:

(Full printable ingredients and instructions are just below.)

garlic powder (affiliate link)

 dried oregano

onion powder

 dried parsley (affiliate link)

salt (affiliate link)

 black pepper (affiliate link)

 dried basil

dried thyme

 white vinegar (affiliate link) when making dressing

 extra virgin olive oil (affiliate link) when making dressing

 water when making dressing

 dry mix when making dressing

Instructions:

For the dry mix, gather your seasoning ingredients.

Mix all together,

Put in air tight jar and label. I put the directions right on the lid so I don’t have to pull out the recipe when I make it.

When you are ready to make the dressing, you need your dry mix, oil, vinegar and water.

Mix them together.

Pour it into your container of choice.

NOTE: the nutrition facts are for the mix only and they are for two Tablespoons so one packet worth (if you bought a packet in the store). It will make you about 1 cup of dressing so 3 net carbs for about 1 cup of dressing, not 1 serving. There are no carbs in water or oil so the only thing that would add carbs would be the vinegar you use and most do not have carbs. Balsamic would be the one you would have to watch the most for carbs.
