Italian Parmesan Salad Dressing

Photo is from the Strawberry Spinach Salad in the previous post but it was a good photo and so delicious, I'm using it again.  Note the different ingredients recommended for an Italian Salad below.

Italian Salad

6 cups salad mix including a variety of types of salad greens

1/4 red onion sliced

8 mild pepperocinis

2-3 diced Roma tomatoes

1 cup sliced black olives

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Croutons

Italian Salad Dressing

1/2 cup olive oil

1/4 cup white vinegar (I used rice wine vinegar)

2 Tbsp. mayonnaise (I used my Kewpie Mayo.  Please see yesterday's post for more info.)

2 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese

1 tsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. sugar

1 clove minced garlic

1 tsp. kosher salt

1/2 tsp. black pepper

1 tsp.  dried Italian seasoning (Use fresh basil, oregano, thyme if in season.  Note that with the fresh herbs the dressing may have a shorter refrigerator shelf life but the flavor will be worth it.)

Place all ingredients for the dressing in a jar with lid and shake well or use a salad dressing container and blend well.
