Homemade Italian Dressing

Have you ever made your own salad dressings?  I've purchased the packets that you add vinegar, water, and oil to....but I didn't even think that all I was saving myself was 2 seconds of spice measuring and adding pointless preservatives.

So, I was out of dressing the other day and thought a good Italian dressing sounded nice.  After looking through several recipes, I put together what sounded good to me.  And boy, was it ever!  I've been dipping vegetables, bread, and scouring the house for "salad fixins" ever since I tasted this.

It's that good:

Italian Dressing

1 C vinegar
1 1/3 C oil
2 T water
2 t garlic powder
2 t onion powder
2 t honey
1 T dried oregano
1/2 t black pepper
1/2 t dried basil
2 t dried parsley
1 t salt

Mix together...it lasts for a few months in your fridge...well, it's supposed to.  Trust me.  It won't be there that long.
