Ingredients

¼ cup Olive oil light
2 tablespoon White wine vinegar
¼ cup Mayonnaise
½ Lemon juiced
3 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
2 cloves Garlic
½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
¾ teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoon Water
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Instructions

In a food processor, add mayonnaise, vinegar, lemon juice, and oil. Add the garlic powder, fresh garlic, Italian seasoning, sugar, salt, pepper, and parmesan.
¼ cup Olive oil, 2 tbsp White wine vinegar, ¼ cup Mayonnaise, ½ Lemon, 3 tbsp Parmesan cheese, 2 cloves Garlic, ½ tsp Garlic Powder, ¾ tsp Italian seasoning, 2 tbsp Water, Salt, Black pepper
Pulse the dressing until creamy and emulsified. Taste for seasoning, and adjust if needed.

Notes

Use real parmesan: Freshly grated parmesan gives better texture and flavor. Look for a stamped rind or authenticity seal when purchasing.

Balance acidity: Adjust vinegar, lemon, and sugar to your taste.

Adjust seasoning: Parmesan and mayonnaise are naturally salty. Taste the dressing once blended, and salt according to your taste.

Let it rest: The flavors will meld and deepen after chilling the dressing. For best results, refrigerate the dressing for 30-60 minutes.

Shake before serving: Some separation is normal as the dressing sits.
