📝 Instructions

6 steps

1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth and well blended.

2. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, fresh lemon juice, white wine vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, and honey to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

3. Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste, starting with the listed amounts and adjusting as needed.

4. If the dressing is too thick for your liking, gradually add milk or water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until your desired consistency is reached.

5. Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
