Zesty Italian Dressing Recipe: Chicken Stir Fry (2024)

Kraft’s Zesty Italian Anything Dressing – Let’s Get Zesty!

[amazon_textlink asin=’B005JCZWV6′ text=’Kraft Zesty Italian dressing‘ template=’ProductLink’ store=’associateslinkbuilderplugin-20′ marketplace=’US’ link_id=’6f98249b-0e59-11e8-b23b-b384dbf8d7bf’] has been steaming up my kitchen since the late 1970’s. As a young single woman living on her own, I ate a can of green beans mixed with a can of tuna dressed with Zesty Italian dressing every night for the first few years.Mostly because it was affordable, but also because back then I was thin and I wanted to stay that way!

Now that I no longer eat meat, that doesn’t mean the Kraft Zesty Italian hasn’t made the journey into adulthood with me….’cause it has, and like me, it’s grown and changed, and now it’s Zesty Italian Anything Dressing because it goes on anything!

Zesty Italian Dressing Recipes

My favorite way to eat it now is on grilled or roasted vegetables, but I also like to use it as a marinade on chicken for the hubby. But there are lots of other more creative ways to use this versatile sauce. Just check out the recipes on the Kraft website which includePrimavera Pasta Toss,Zesty Italian Chicken Salad, and otherZesty Guy-approvedKraft recipes.
