The Ospidillo Cafe Italian Salad Dressing image

I always offer two dressings on the table here at The Ospidillo Cafe; The Stone Pipe Inn Salad Recipe #136181 and this one. When I place salads on the table, my guests typically query, "Where's that good salad dressing that you make?" I just point to the two carafes and about half take one and half take the other; they taste nothing alike.

Time 1h20m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
1/2 cup water (prefer spring water)
2 tablespoons Hellmann's mayonnaise
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons Italian spices (see directions)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • Blend all ingredients in a mixer for 20 minutes. (I use a KitchenAid mixer on speed setting number 2).
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • When dressing gets too cold it will solidify somewhat, due to the olive oil, so allow it to set out 1/2 hour or so if this happens.
  • Also, I prefer to use Tupelo honey when I have it available which is much higher quality in flavor than regular clover honey.
  • For the Italian spices, I use 2 teaspoons of Dee514's Italian Blend Spice Mix Recipe #38293. Here it is:
  • 2 tablespoons basil, 2 tablespoons marjoram, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon oregano, 1 tablespoon thyme, 1 tablespoon rosemary, 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes.
