Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Water (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic.
Add the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, and honey to the bowl. Whisk until the ingredients are well blended and smooth.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
If the dressing is too thick for your liking, gradually whisk in water, one tablespoon at a time, until your desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the garlic Parmesan dressing to a jar or air-tight container and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Shake or stir well before serving. Enjoy the dressing over crisp greens, roasted vegetables, or as a dip.
