CREAMY ITALIAN SALAD DRESSING:

I’m a real sucker for a creamy Italian salad dressing, but it’s taken me an eternity to find one I can use with such diversity. I discovered a version of this a few years ago and have played around with it to tweak the flavours, but I now think I’m happy with where it’s at. The good news is that this dressing literally goes with anything. I love it tossed with something as simple as little gem lettuce hearts and halved cherry tomatoes, but it works equally well with arugula, chopped carrots, a little celery and sprinkling of pomegranate seeds (as shown in the photo). Really, you can grab what you have hanging around and make it work. Also, the bonus is that it’s also one of the few salad related items my kids will actually consume!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
  • 1/3 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4  Cup White Wine Vinegar
  • 1/3 Cup Parmesan Cheese (Grated)
  • 2 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 3 Cloves Garlic (Crushed)
  • 2 Tsp Honey
  • 1 Tsp Dried Parsley
  • 1/2 Tsp Dried Thyme
  • 1/2 Tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 Tsp Dried Basil
  • 1/4 Tsp Salt
  • 1/4 Tsp Pepper
  • 1 Mason Jar

PROCESS:

Combine all of the wet ingredients in your mason jar and then add all of the dry ingredients and shake well. I recommend refrigerating for 30 minutes to allow the flavours to develop a little. Then toss with your salad and enjoy! Yes, it’s that easy…
