Homemade Antipasto Dressing
When we make Antipasto we use the best fresh meats and cheeses. We want good olives with vegetables and herbs straight from the garden. That’s what makes an antipasto fantastic. A fresh salad needs an equally fresh and delicious dressing to top it with.
Homemade Antipasto Dressing is just that dressing. I used the purple basil and parsley in the recipe from our garden. If you’ve never used fresh basil in a salad dressing before you need to do it. The aroma alone is intoxicating when you’re picking it. It makes you want to taste all the freshness and flavor those little leaves contain.
The recipe requires a little prepping. Mincing the garlic and chopping the fresh basil and parsley take just minutes to do and so well worth the little bit of effort. Why top your next amazing salad with a bottled dressing when you can make an easy, fresh tasting homemade dressing? Homemade Antipasto Dressing, your going to love what it does to your salad. Enjoy!

That was the best dressing I’ve had on an antipasto salad. The ingredient measures were spot on. This dressing gets tastier as it sits. Thank you! I’m looking forward to making the other salad dressings you’ve shared and other delicious looking recipes on your site. : ) So glad I found you!
THANK YOU CHEY!! And thank you for taking the time to come back and comment, it’s so helpful to people who would like to make it. WE’re big salad eaters here in the summer when the garden is yielding, I love homemade dressings.
I’ll use less oil next time. But other than that, great recipe. I may add an anchovy or two as well.
Thank you Laura
