This popular salad dressing usually consists of water and either lemon juice or vinegar in combination with oil, bell peppers, sugar, and various herbs and spices such as dill, fennel, and oregano. It can also be used to marinate a variety of meats and vegetables. There is also a variety of this dressing called creamy Italian, made with the same ingredients and the addition of stabilizers and milk products. It is believed that Italian dressing dates back to 1941 in Massachusetts when it was first made by Florence Hanna, the daughter of Italian immigrants, whose husband had a restaurant called The '41 Cafe. Soon enough, the dressing became so popular in the restaurant that the Hannas couldn't keep up with the demand, and the rest is history.

Louis dressing is a traditional salad dressing originating from the United States of America. It's based on mayonnaise and additions such as green onions, minced green chili peppers, red chili sauce, celery salt, parsley, lemon juice, and sometimes ketchup. It's usually used as a dressing for seafood salads such as crab Louie or shrimp Louie. Before topping the dish, the dressing should be well chilled. The origins of Louis dressing are disputed, with restaurants in Seattle, Spokane, San Francisco, and Portland claiming to be the home of the original dressing, which dates back to the 1900s or 1910s.
