Signature Italian Dressing from The Happy Vegan

Salads should not be boring! With the right dressing, your salad should be sensational!
Try making your own dressing which will be more delicious and nutritious than a store bought bottle (which also has an abundance of added sugar and non-healthy ingredients).

After making this, you’ll never buy another bottled dressing again!
