Italian Dressing Mix

I hate to buy seasoning packets. They are way too expensive, and I usually have all the ingredients already in my cupboard. Here is an inexpensive recipe to replace your Zesty Italian Dressing packets.

Ingredients

1 tbsp. onion powder
2 tbsp. oregano
1 tbsp. dried parsley
1 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. ground basil
1/4 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. dried celery leaves

Directions

1. Measure out all ingredients and combine in bowl. Use in place of Zesty Dry Italian Dressing packet.
2. To make dressing, mix together:
   • 2 tbsp. of mix with 1/4 cup vinegar
   • 2 tbsp. water
   • 1/2 - 2/3 cup olive oil.
