How to Make Italian Salad Dressing Mix

  1. In a food processor or blender, combine all dry ingredients: 1 cup dried oregano, 1/2 cup dried basil, 1/4 cup dried parsley, 2 tablespoons garlic powder, 1 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon dried marjoram, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Process until finely ground and evenly mixed. Transfer the mix to an airtight container for storage.
  3. To make the salad dressing: In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine 1 1/2 tablespoons of the Italian dressing mix, 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 2 1/2 tablespoons water, and 3/4 cup olive oil.
  4. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously until well emulsified.
  5. Let the dressing stand for at least 1 hour (or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator) to allow the flavors to fully blend and meld. This step is crucial for a richer, more complex taste.
