Questions people ask about Italian Dressing

How long does Italian Dressing take?

About 5 minutes from starting to sitting down, and it is straightforward. That is start-to-finish, so it works on a weeknight when you have not planned anything.

What can I use instead of lemon in Italian Dressing?

Use lime, or 1 tsp vinegar in a pinch. Add acid off the heat either way.

Can I make Italian Dressing ahead of time?

You can prepare it a few hours ahead and reheat gently. It keeps two days in the fridge, though it is best on the day.

Is Italian Dressing vegetarian?

Yes, and as written it is vegan too. Check your specific brands if that matters to you.

How long does home-made italian dressing keep?

About a week in a sealed bottle in the fridge. It separates as it sits, which is normal — shake it hard before each use.
