I love a good flavorful Italian dressing. I’ve been using Good Seasons Salad Dressing Mix, but over the past few years have been using processed foods less and less due to extra ingredients that really don’t need to be in there and I really don’t want to consume. Such as MSG in any form, sugars, artificial or ‘natural’ flavorings. Here’s a mix you can make yourself that contains only herbs and seasonings. You can store this mix in a jar in the pantry and mix up some fresh dressing whenever you need it.
