Best Answer

Italian dressing separates because it is basically a mixture of oil, vinegar and water with flavorings. Oil does not mix easily with water and vinegar; after a few moments, the oil always rises to the top. This is why you must shake most kinds of dressing before pouring them onto food.

Italian dressing would separate in two layers because of the difference in densities. The substance on the bottom (water & vinegar) has a higher density than the substance on the top (oil.)
