Spice up your salad with this easy gluten-free salad dressing!

Salad dressings can sometimes contain hidden gluten - and it's one of the products I became very wary of after my celiac diagnosis in 2009.
My aunt Ellen, who I affectionally have called Neenee since I was little, makes the best salad dressing- an Italian vinaigrette, from scratch. And this salad dressing is inspired by her recipe!
You'll need the following ingredients for this dressing:
-olive oil
-dried Italian seasoning
-lemon or lime (doesn't matter, both taste good!)
-salt & pepper
-minced garlic (fresh or jarred!)
-red wine vinegar - for extra acidity and tartness. Completely up to you!
To store or make the dressing, I suggest just a mason jar. I rinse out and reuse all of my jam/jelly jars from Bonne Maman for this purpose. Sometimes I even use them for potting plants!
All you do is mix the ingredients in a jar, shake, and let it sit overnight for best results. You can even pour this dressing over chicken or vegetables, too. It's of course, great on salads of all kinds. You can also customize this dressing with more flavors, like balsamic vinegar, apple cider vinegar, other citrus fruits, or dried seasonings.
The dressing super easy, tastes delicious, and has nothing hidden or fake inside. When you make something from scratch, it really gives you peace of mind knowing exactly what's going into your food. Especially when you are gluten-free or have celiac disease!
