- 1 ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon thyme
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon basil
Instructions

- Seal the jar and shake well until fully combined. Or whisk vigorously with a whisk until smooth and creamy.
Notes
Storage: Store the salad dressing in an airtight container like a mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If it solidifies, simply take it out and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes. Then, give it a good shake or stir to re-emulsify the ingredients.
Helpful Tips:
- Use a wide-mouth mason jar with a tight seal. Shaking the dressing vigorously ensures everything mixes thoroughly, but you can also use an immersion blender for a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Start with room temperature ingredients. If possible, bring the mayonnaise and oil to room temperature before making the dressing for more effortless blending.
- Use a seasoning blend. Simplify the recipe by swapping the individual herbs and spices for an Italian seasoning mix or Herbes de Provence. It makes this recipe super easy.
- Give it time. Let the dressing sit for at least 30 minutes in the fridge before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
