You only need a handful of simple pantry ingredients to make this easy homemade Italian dressing, perfect for salads, meat marinades, pasta salads, or any recipe you have that calls for a bottle of Italian dressing.
Combine olive oil and vinegar in a medium size glass container, preferably one with a spout.
Add the Parmesan cheese, parsley, lemon juice, basil, oregano, onion powder, honey, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir or shake (if there is a lid) until everything is well combined.
Store dressing in the refrigerator, covered, up to 1 month. Allow to sit at room temperature for a few minutes or run under hot water for a few seconds to loosen dressing. Shake or stir before using2.
Notes
Parmesan cheese: if you want to keep this dressing dairy-free, simply omit the Parmesan cheese.
