THE OSPIDILLO CAFE ITALIAN SALAD DRESSING

The Ospidillo Cafe Italian Salad Dressing image

I always offer two dressings on the table here at The Ospidillo Cafe; The Stone Pipe Inn Salad Recipe #136181 and this one. When I place salads on the table, my guests typically query, "Where's that good salad dressing that you make?" I just point to the two carafes and about half take one and half take the other; they taste nothing alike.

Time 1h20m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup water (prefer spring water)
2 tablespoons Hellmann's mayonnaise
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons Italian spices (see directions)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Steps:

Blend all ingredients in a mixer for 20 minutes. (I use a KitchenAid mixer on speed setting number 2).
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
When dressing gets too cold it will solidify somewhat, due to the olive oil, so allow it to set out 1/2 hour or so if this happens.
Also, I prefer to use Tupelo honey when I have it available which is much higher quality in flavor than regular clover honey.
For the Italian spices, I use 2 teaspoons of Dee514's Italian Blend Spice Mix Recipe #38293. Here it is:
2 tablespoons basil, 2 tablespoons marjoram, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon oregano, 1 tablespoon thyme, 1 tablespoon rosemary, 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes.

ITALIAN SALAD DRESSING

There is no need to buy salad dressing when it is so easy to make your own. This is my all-purpose Italian dressing. Because it doesn't need to be refrigerated, there is always a bottle on our dining room table. It keeps for ages.
