Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
Peel and finely mince the garlic clove, or use a garlic press to create a smooth paste.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, and Dijon mustard.
Add the minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Whisk the ingredients together until the mixture is creamy and well blended.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, add water 1 teaspoon at a time, whisking after each addition, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lemon juice, salt, or pepper to match your preference.
Transfer the Parmesan dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Serve over your favorite salad, as a dip for vegetables, or as a sauce for roasted meats or seafood. Enjoy!
