Simple italian dressing is a favorite of mine and is one of the easiest dressings to make! Using only herbs, olive oil, vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper! The only trick to making this dressing is having the right amounts of olive oil and vinegar.
Totally…
This dressing is totally vegan,dairy free, gluten free option (gluten free croutons) and it’s totally delicious!
Gluten free option
Only the salad has gluten on it and it’s the croutons. To make this salad 100% gluten free opt for gluten free croutond or leave them out completely.
Meat lover option
Add crispy bacon pieces or cubed lunch meat for some meaty flavor and protein.
Vegan protein add ins
For protein without the meat use a vegan protein such as…tofu, nuts (I like walnuts) vegan meats, tempeh or vegan protein of choice. Enjoy!
