I agree. Orange dressing sounds like french, not what I consider
"italian". Kraft Zesty or that recently discussed Good Season's
dressing mix perhaps. Which leads me to...

Guess what I just found in the pantry? I knew I had the packets of
salad dressing "herbs" and such. I didn't realize I do still have the
glass shaker bottle! Had to take a pic!

For marinating I'd go with the Kraft Zesty Italian. Or just herbs,
garlic (lots of it) and oil, water and vinegar. Well shaken.
