Step 1

Mince the garlic and red pepper.

Step 2

Add all ingredients to a 16-oz jar and shake vigorously to combine ingredients.

Step 3

Use this dressing as a bread dip or for marinades and salads like a simple green salad, Copycat Olive Garden House Salad, vegan pasta salad, or cucumber tomato salad!

Step 4

Store your Italian dressing in the fridge for up to 5 days. It will last a few days longer if you are not using fresh herbs and garlic. It will thicken in the fridge; see the notes below for how to deal with that!
