Creamy Italian Dressing – a light and delicious, homemade Italian dressing that is dairy-free, Whole30 and Paleo!

This post is sponsored by Califia Farms®, but the opinions are my own.

This is the PERFECT for all your summer recipes!

Healthy Italian Dressing (Whole30/Paleo)

If I learned one thing from eating a Whole30/Paleo-focused diet, it is that you HAVE to read your ingredient list!  I know I am always surprised when I look at the ingredient list for salad dressing – I can’t even pronounce half of those ingredients!  Even though there are (thankfully) some really awesome companies out there making cleaner-ingredient dressing, sometimes you don’t have those on hand!

So I thought I would create a light and delicious dressing that you could use in your summer pasta salads, grilled romaine salads, grilled vegetable salads and roasted cauliflower salads!!

Is this Creamy Italian Dressing Dairy-Free?

Yes this dressing is dairy-free and plant-based!  I used Califia farms unsweetened almondmilk to make this dressing creamy!

How to Make this Italian Dressing Extra Creamy:

If you are looking for an extra creamy dressing, simply sub Califia Farms Unsweetened BetterHalf Creamer in place of the almondmilk!!

How to Store Creamy Italian Dressing:

Simply store in the refrigerator!  But note that separation will occur when it gets cold; just re-whisk before use!
