Drizzle this delicious, quick Italian-style vinaigrette over crisp salads, toss with roasted vegetables, or use as a marinade to elevate your favorite dishes. It's super easy to make with just a few ingredients. You'll want to keep this one in stock over and over.
This dressing is reminiscent of submarine sandwich dressing, which is super good and I really wanted to make my own!
This dressing is also paired with my fresh cucumber and avocado salad! In case you needed an idea of how to use this delicious vinaigrette.
