This easy recipe for vegan Italian salad dressing is fresh, tangy, and delicious. With red wine vinegar, garlic, and a bit of basil, it has all the classic Italian flavors.
Grab a mason jar, a container with a tight-fitting lid, or a small mixing bowl. Whichever you are using to make this dressing in, make sure it is at least 1.5 cups in its capacity.
Begin by adding the liquid ingredients to the mason jar. Pour in the olive oil, red wine vinegar, and fresh lemon juice.
To the liquids, add the dijon mustard. Next, add the nutritional yeast. This dressing calls for 1 tablespoon for a mild cheese taste.
Add the garlic powder & dried basil to the other ingredients.
Next add the salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Once all the ingredients are in the mason jar. Screw the lid on tightly.
With the lid on tight, shake the mason jar vigorously for 15 seconds. The dressing should come together.If using a bowl, grab a whisk to combine.
Add it to your favorite salad - including my Vegan Italian Chopped Salad that I shared a link to above.
Place leftovers in the refrigerator to keep fresh. It will be good for 7-10 days.
