Tips

  • For a bottled feel, use all dried herbs.
  • Mustard acts as an emulsifier for a creamy texture.
  • Dressings taste better after 30 minutes to an hour, especially with dried herbs for rehydration.
  • You can add parmesan cheese to the Italian dressing.
  • The dressings will last about a week to 10 days in an airtight container.
  • For Greek dressing, sometimes mint can be added for a zesty flavor.
