What is difference between vinaigrette and Italian salad dressings?

Answer:
A basic vinaigrette is oil+acid (vinegars, citric juices, etc.) and sometimes mustard (to emulsify). Italian dressing is generally oil, vinegar, salt, pepper and Italian herbs and spices (oregano, basil, garlic, etc.). They are similar, but a vinaigrette tends to be simpler on the ingredients.
