Last night we went to my friend Melanie's house for a couples night filled with good food, good friends, good fun and the Nintendo Wii! I volunteered to bring a salad to the gathering and for some reason I felt compelled to make my own homemade salad dressing.
After a quick search on MyRecipes.com, I found this recipe for Creamy Italian Dressing - which is one of my favorite salad dressings of all time. This was easy and pretty much all of the ingredients were items I had in my house, except for the heavy cream. I substituted half and half for the heavy cream and it came out fine. I'll defintely be making this again, it seemed to be a hit!
Creamy Italian Dressing
(from MyRecipes.com)

3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Pinch pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
Preparation
In a mayonnaise jar, combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, cream, sugar, oregano, basil, parsley, and pepper; shake well. Transfer to a bowl and, whisking constantly, slowly add the olive oil.

Sounds like a great dressing - Wii is so much fun!
I love homemade dressings! They taste so much lighter and fresher than the bottled kinds. Great idea!
I made this just a few minutes ago and it's fabulous! I love the idea of using the mayonnaise jar to mix it up. You don't have to waste that last little bit of mayonnaise. Thanks.
