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.

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.

Tsk!

IME Wishbone brand is one of the better ones!

While I don't use it on salads, (I prefer Ranch or plain lime-based Mayo
for salads), Wishbone brand Italan Salad dressing makes a FANTASTIC
quick and easy marinade for grilled chicken. ;-d

Sometimes I just don't frickin' have TIME to make it from scratch!

And it's inexpensive......

Many (most) American people would not eat food that you commonly eat
there because they don't know the taste of real food flavors. The most
common taste in American food is sugar with the next most common salt.

The bottled stuff is handy for sandwiches, but wishbone brand is the *worst.*
I make ours your way, but I like rice wine vinegar, garlic salt, Freshly
Ground black pepper and a sprinkle of basil.

Hi
20 or 30 years ago we had lots of farm land not being used. George
Butz our secretary of Agriculture decided CORN was the way to go. So we
end up with all this corn. Feed Hogs, make whisky or turn it into corn
syrup.

Seems we opted for all three. Hence there are very few food products
that do not contain High Fructose corn syrup. I think of that as being
extra empty calories.

I may be wrong and often am but obesity came into our vocabulary about
this time.

Try to avoid High Fructose corn syrup in your shopping trip. Good Luck!
Hope Italy is still slowish food and dinner banter. Banter = folks
talking about their day over food.

I like the seven seas viva ... I don't often use italian dressing, but for
bottled, that's my preference. The Viva type has bits of red and green
pepper,
carrots, onions, green onions, garlic, of course. I like it.

Me, neither!

A friend of mine puts cream into his dressings (which also include
balsamic vinegar). I find that almost as strange as sugar in salads.
Almost, not quite. I like clean tasting dressing, no creaminess for me,
please.

As usual it is a modification served originally in American Italian
restaurants.

Basically if you make a vinaigrette using Red wine Vinegar and Olive oil -
Garlic, onion some dried red/green pepper, sugar, salt, black pepper you'll
be OK. The predominant flavor comes from the red wine vinegar. some dried
herbs will also help,

yes! but I don't understand a thing. You say that in your vinaigrette
there are onions, peppers, garlic etc...
Why don't you put them in your salad rather then in your vinaigrette, and
then season it with oil and vinegar?

I prefer Good Seasons. I'm the only one who likes Italian - hubby
likes blue cheese and kids like ranch... so Good Seasons is good
enough for me. When I make a batch for company, I use oil/vinegar,
oregano, basil, garlic salt/pepper and a pinch of sugar.

Oil and vinegar are almost universal in Europe, think German potato
salad, if one were being strict about it the only real difference
between a Northern French vinaigrette and an Italian version would be
the use of garlic in the Italian and any difference in the regional wine
vinegar's used. Fresh green herbs & mustard are common to both French
and Italian and even in southern France garlic is commonly used.

Parsley, bay, thyme, tarragon, chives, chervil, fennel, oregano, sage
can be used, judiciously, in a vinaigrette. Shallots or green onions
are not unusual. I have known people to use a bit of curry powder, and
though i don't care for it in a vinaigrette, some people do.

Gnam gnam!!!! I think it is possible and very good, indeed!
You know, I usually make fry sage leaves!
I make a semy-liquid dough with flour and water (just few drops of vinegar
to make it crispier); some salt. You put fresh sage leaves in this dough and
you fry in very hot peanuts oil. PARADISE!!!!!!!!! You must try!!!
Now I have spoken of this ....I want them!
