My family prefers the store brand of Italian dressing to any of the name brands. They all pretty much taste the same and have the same ingredients. This is a copycat of their dressing using mostly ingredients from the cabinet most people keep on hand or can find easily. The water makes it stretch a little further for those on a tight budget, but you might also like it without.
Ingredients
- ½ red bell pepper
- 1 ½ cups vegetable oil
- ¾ cup water
- ¾ cup white vinegar
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons dried basil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 ½ teaspoons dried minced onion
- ¾ teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and add red bell pepper.
Step 2
Roast red bell pepper under the broiler until slightly blackened, about 12 minutes. Transfer bell pepper to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap for about 10 minutes. Carefully remove plastic wrap and peel skin from bell pepper.
Step 3
Blend roasted red pepper, oil, water, vinegar, sugar, basil, lemon juice, minced onion, and salt in a blender until smooth.
Cook’s Notes:
Store in the refrigerator overnight for best taste, although usable immediately if needed. Shake well before using.
