YOU GUYS!!!! This italian dressing has totally changed my salad life. I was getting so tired of salad with just a drizzle of olive oil + sprinkle of garlic + italian seasoning. It was really good in the beginning, but after 2 1/2 years, I'm over it. I used to love italian dressing. In fact when Rosie was in the NICU and I got free hospital meals, I used to get a side salad with italian dressing every. single. meal. It went so well with my burgers, chicken tenders, and french fries 😂. I have always loved ranch, but since going dairy free almost 8 years ago, I never use it anymore.
Anyway, when I found this italian dressing recipe on Pinterest I was so excited, because it was one that I could adapt to low histamine without too many tweaks. I had salad for lunch and dinner for almost 3 days in a row. Another thing that upped my salad game was splurging on some baby red butter lettuce. It is soooo much tastier than iceberg or plain romaine. So if you need a change in your salad routine, try this dressing with red butter lettuce, arugula, cucumbers, sliced bell peppers, and matchstick carrots. You'll be glad you did!
I like my salads with sliced chicken or with my favorite turkey meatballs.
If you're not into italian dressing, you could try my other favorite: taco salad! I use shredded chicken or browned ground turkey meat seasoned with garlic, onion, & paprika over lettuce with my dairy free nacho sauce as the dressing. It is SO good.
Note on storing sauce: I haven't tried freezing this yet, but I bet it would work because I freeze my basil oil sauce all the time.
Note on gluten free: If you have an allergy to gluten, make sure that your spices are certified gluten free. Many spices are produced in factories that also process wheat, soy, & milk.
