Add the finely grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture. Stir until the cheese is evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
Season the dressing with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to suit your taste preference.
Finally, add the white wine vinegar and give the dressing a final stir to ensure everything is well mixed.
Transfer the dressing to a serving container, or store it in a covered jar in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Before serving, give the dressing another stir, then drizzle over your favorite salad or use as a dip for vegetables.
