How to Make Homemade Classic Creamy Italian Salad Dressing by The Busy Baker
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup oil
- 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
- 1/4 ketchup (organic, if possible)
- 2 tbsp brown or turbinado sugar
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 garlic clove, pressed
Steps/How to Make

Refrigerate until used, shake it vigorously if necessary before serving.
