Oil Free Italian Dressing
Italian Dressing – so good!! We decided to try and make our own Italian Dressing without oil. Wow!! It was so easy!! All you need is: Cornstarch – Water – Red Wine Vinegar – Zesty Italian Seasonings Packet First pour 1/2 cup water and 1 big teaspoon of cornstarch into a small sauce pan Then you boil it until it becomes clear. OOPS!! We forgot to take pictures in between these two. Next you will pour your “oil” into a glass jar. Add 1/4 cup red wine vinegar and the packet of seasonings. Just shake, shake, shake it up. Finally, pour it into your favorite dressing container. It was so good.. we wish we had made more. Enjoy and let us know how you like it. Tyler and...
