Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon White wine vinegar
- 1 Garlic clove, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Milk or water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth and well blended.
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.
Season the dressing with salt and black pepper to taste, starting with the listed amounts and adjusting as needed.
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.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve the dressing chilled over fresh salads, as a dip, or as a drizzle for roasted vegetables. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, stirring before each use.
