Italian
Dressing
From Wikibooks, the
open-content textbooks collection
Italian dressing
in United States cooking is a vinaigrette-type
salad dressing consisting of an emulsion of water, oil,
vinegar or lemon
juice, salt,
pepper,
minced onions
and bell
peppers, and a variety of herbs and spices including garlic,
oregano,
fennel, and dill.
It is often bought bottled, or prepared by mixing oil and
vinegar with a packaged flavoring mix consisting of
dehydrated vegetables and herbs.
The U.S.-style
Italian dressing is unknown in Italy. Salad is normally
dressed at table with olive
oil, vinegar,
salt,
and sometimes black
pepper, and not with a pre-mixed vinaigrette.
