Tip #1 : If your Italian Dressing is super tangy, reduce the Dijon mustard and vinegar slightly and add a few additional teaspoons of sugar

Tip #2 : The better the olive oil that’s used, the richer and more robust your dressing will taste. You might want to try using extra-virgin olive oil

Tip #3 : Make your Zesty Italian dressing Zestier. Try cutting down on the amount of sugar. You can swap red wine vinegar with wine vinegar.

Tip #4 : Prepare the Dressing ahead of time and put it away in the fridge. This way you can intensify the flavor and it will be cold when you are ready to top a salad with it.

Tip #5 : Make the Italian Dressing vegan by taking out the honey and replacing it with sugar or maple syrup
