Excellent dressing! I used red wine vinegar and added 1/4 t cayenne pepper to add a little zing. We really loved this and it is a lot cheaper than buying off the shelf. Thanks Darlene.

Really good recipe. I substituted a packet of sugar substitute for the sugar and used red wine vinegar. Also added an extra clove of garlic to ward off any vampires. Yum!

The dressing was really good.My husband who is a meat and potatoes guy had three helpings of salad and asked me to make a bottle of the dressing.I used olive oil, red wine vinegar and crushed red pepper to give it a little kick.

This is great dressing! I also used red wine vinegar and I used canola oil, because I wasn't sure what salad oil was. It turned out great, wasn't to strong or sour. I am going to try it in my pasta salads, as I am very picky on the dressing that I use in it and I think that I can cut out almost $7 off of my bill for pasta salad. Thanks again and I will definately be making this often.

I will never buy Italian Dressing again. I had to use veg. oil since I was out of Olive oil and salad oil. It was still great. I also used red wine vinegar and the 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper. Absolutely wonderful. Thanks Darlene.

I needed an Italian dressing for our subs one night and decided to try this one. I'm so glad I did!! We loved it! Since it was a spur-of-the-moment thing I had to used what I had on hand. I used red wine vinegar, half olive oil & half canola oil and garlic powder instead of the garlic clove. It turned out well and really complimented the ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese, tomatoes and lettuce I used on the subs. Thanks so much for such a lovely recipe!

I will NEVER have to buy Good Seasons Italian dressing mix again, because this tastes exactly like it! I used Extra Virgin Olive Oil & Red Wine Vinegar Chianti and it was wonderful! I think the flavor was best THE NEXT DAY! Make it a day in advance if possible! Thank you so much for this wonderful recipe! 10 Stars!!

Liked this very much. Used raspberry wine vinegar. I also added a dash of pepper. Will use this often.

I made two versions of this, one with red wine vinegar and one with white wine vinegar. Both are excellent and used often by my family. Fresh tasting and very zesty. Thanks Darlene, for a great recipe.
