This zesty Italian herb dressing is perfect for salads, marinades, or as a dip. It's easy to make and full of fresh flavors.
In a mixing bowl, combine the onion powder, sugar, dried oregano, ground black pepper, dried basil, dried parsley, and salt.
Mixing the dry ingredients first ensures even distribution of flavors.
Add the cider vinegar and water to the bowl and whisk until the dry ingredients are dissolved.
Whisking thoroughly helps to blend the flavors evenly.
Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously to emulsify the dressing.
Adding the oil slowly while whisking creates a smooth and well-emulsified dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Adjusting the seasoning ensures the dressing suits your taste preferences.
Transfer the dressing to a serving container and let it sit for 30 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
Allowing the dressing to rest lets the flavors meld together for a more harmonious taste.
