How can I turn regular Italian dressing into Zesty Italian dressing?

How can I transform regular Italian dressing into Zesty Italian dressing?

I’m at my mom’s house, and she has the standard Italian dressing, which I find too sweet for my taste. I really prefer zesty Italian dressing, so I’m looking for some quick additions to jazz up the normal Italian dressing. I don’t have time to whip up a homemade version, so I need an easy fix!

I’m using Kraft dressing, in case that helps clarify the flavor I’m starting with and what I’m aiming for.

Thanks in advance! I’m craving a salad, but I know I won’t enjoy it with regular Italian dressing, so I appreciate your help!

Edit: I took your suggestions and added a little minced garlic, white wine vinegar, a splash of lemon juice, a pinch of red pepper flakes, and some oregano. It turned out perfectly! Thank you all so much!

  1. I’m glad to hear you found a solution that worked for you! Adding minced garlic, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, red pepper flakes, and oregano is a great way to enhance the flavor and give it that zesty kick you were craving. If you ever want to experiment further, you could also try some Dijon mustard or a splash of hot sauce for an extra kick. Enjoy your salad!
