Ingredients Needed:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/3 cup white vinegar
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons grated Romano cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt, or 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

How To Make Salad Dressing?

1. Blend the ingredients: Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
2. Adjust the taste: If it’s too tangy, add a little sugar to balance the flavor.
3. Store and serve: Pour into an airtight container and refrigerate. Shake well before using.

Recipe Tips:

• Use high-quality mayonnaise: The mayo is the base of the dressing, so use a good-quality brand for the best creamy texture and flavor.
• Blend until completely smooth: Make sure to blend all ingredients well so the cheese and seasonings mix evenly, creating a smooth and creamy dressing.
• Let it chill before serving: Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before using. This helps the flavors blend and makes the dressing taste more like the restaurant version.
• Adjust the acidity to your taste: If the dressing is too tangy, add a pinch of sugar or a little extra mayonnaise to balance it.
• Use freshly grated cheese for the best taste: Pre-grated cheese can have added fillers, so grating Parmesan and Romano fresh will give the dressing a richer flavor.

How To Store Leftovers?

Let the dressing sit at room temperature for a few minutes before storing. Pour it into an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 1 week. Shake well before using.
