Creamy Italian Salad Dressing

Rising food prices and food choices are low.  In fact, some store shelves are completely empty of certain items. Maybe it is time to get back to basics. Start making some of the usual store bought processed food, at home, where you control the seasonings and everything that goes in.

Italian Salad dressing is one of those items you can make up at home. Chances are, once you start making your own salad dressing, you won't want to go back to the store bought bottled dressing.
