Home made Italian Dressing

Anyone have a good home made Italian Dressing?
My husband loves the Kraft version and I buy the fat free one.....
anyone have a good recipe (not fat free)....
it's the spice combo that's great!
Thanks
Chris

I don't have a recipe, so forgive me for butting in here. Not to
distract from your question (which is why I changed the subject line),
but I'm wondering is Italian Dressing actually Italian?

I've never been to Italy, but I have been to Monaco, which is right next
door and culinarily speaking, borrows a lot from Italy. I've never seen
Italian Dressing served there. Salads were usually just oil and vinegar.

Anyone know if this type of dressing actually originates in Italy, or is
it really from somewhere else?

perhaps it's the spice combination and Italian is actually oil and vinegar.
although Thousand Island makes you think 🙂

It's a disgusting salad dressing (vinaigrette) for Americans too lazy
to make the good stuff.

Here's an example -

I didn't know "vinaigrette" was italian. I thought it was french.
BTW I don't like it. For my salad I use only good EVOO , tarragon vinegar,
salt and some drops of garlic oil (that I make).
Cheers and thank you for the answer

Prolly no French dressing across Monaco's other border, either. Does
make one wonder where some of the names come from.

With all of the HFCS there is total synergy with those bottled
"spaghetti sauces"

You are correct. It is a modern bottled product that much like bottled
"spaghetti sauce" contains a large amount of sugar and has little other
taste.

I don't see why a person should put sugar in his salad. BTW I also think
that one person could love some seasonings and dressings. It depends on
different tastes.
