Italian Dressing Dry Mix w/Dried Herbs Recipe

Italian dressing is great on a fresh Romaine Salad with Feta and tons of veggies from your garden. Why not make your very own Italian Dressing Mix using your dried herbs from the garden! I like to add freshly grated Parmesan to my dressing. This is a great dressing to use on sandwiches. The dried herbs can be used sprinkled on a pizza too! Just add oil and vinegar and you have a fantastic dressing that tastes out of this world.
