Hi Jessica, great recipe! Exactly what I was looking for – a simple Italian dressing that is also Paleo compliant.
One question, have you tried Onion and/or Garlic powder instead of minced Garlic and Onion? I was wondering if the measurements would be the same? I don’t have any fresh onion or garlic on hand
Thanks!
Tim
Dried things usually have a stronger flavor so you may need to use a bit less. Just play around with it and see what works for your tastes! Hope it helps!
