How to Make Sweet Italian Dressing

  1. In a jar or container with a tight-fitting lid, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  2. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds until the dressing is well emulsified and creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more sugar for extra sweetness, vinegar for more tang, or salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Store in the refrigerator. The dressing will thicken slightly as it chills. Shake well before each use. This dressing will last up to 4 weeks when refrigerated.
