Ingredients

Scale

Salad Dressing Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add olive oil, mayonnaise, white vinegar, granulated sugar, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper into a medium prep bowl.
  2. Mix Dressing: Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until fully combined and smooth, or alternatively, place all ingredients into a jar with a tight lid and shake vigorously.
  3. Taste and Adjust: Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed — add more vinegar for acidity or sugar for sweetness according to preference.
  4. Store and Chill: Transfer the dressing to a sealed container and refrigerate. Allow it to chill for at least an hour before serving to let flavors meld. Shake well before each use as separation may occur.
  5. Serve: Drizzle over your favorite salad greens or use as a dip.

Notes

  • Shake or whisk well before each use, as natural separation will occur.
  • This dressing keeps well in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
  • For a lighter version, use light mayonnaise or reduce olive oil slightly.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese enhances flavor compared to pre-grated varieties.
  • Adjust sugar and vinegar amounts to balance sweetness and acidity to your taste.
