Italian dressing, also known as aderezo italiano, is a classic mixture used to enhance the flavor of salads, marinades, and other fresh dishes. Its origin dates back to the Italian culinary influence in the United States, where immigrants adapted the traditional flavors of their country to local ingredients. In different Latin American countries, this dressing is popular and goes by similar names, such as "aderezo italiano" in Mexico, "aliño italiano" in Argentina, or simply "salad dressing" in other regions. Its main characteristic is the balance between the acidity of the vinegar and the intensity of the dried herbs, which give it an unmistakable aroma and flavor.
This dressing has become a staple in the kitchen because it easily combines with a wide variety of salads and dishes, providing freshness and a Mediterranean touch. Furthermore, its preparation is quick and economical, making it ideal for those looking to give their meals a twist with simple yet flavorful ingredients.
