Dry Italian-Style Salad Dressing Mix

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the container tightly sealed to preserve flavor and prevent clumping.

Mix with olive oil and vinegar (typically a 3:1 oil-to-vinegar ratio) for a classic dressing.

Bloom the mix in warm oil for 1–2 minutes before adding vinegar to deepen the flavor.

Use as a dry rub for roasted vegetables, chicken, or fish.

Check the ingredient list for added sugars or MSG if you prefer to avoid them.

Using old mix that has lost its aroma; potency fades over time even in dry storage.

Forgetting to shake the bottle well before pouring, as lighter herbs can settle at the top.
