ITALIAN SALAD DRESSING RECIPE

Ingredients:

2 cups real mayonnaise,
2 tbsp. red wine vinegar,
1/4 cup cold water,
1-2 garlic cloves, depending on taste,
1 tsp. Italian herbs seasoning mix,
1 tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese,
1 tsp. sugar,
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil,
3-4 leaves fresh basil,
sea salt and pepper to taste.

Recipe:

1. Combine all the ingredients, except the mayonnaise, in a blender and blend until smooth.

2. Pour the mixture in the mayonnaise and mix well.

3. Dip a piece of salad lettuce in the dressing and taste it.

4. Adjust the seasoning if needed.

The Italian dressing will remain fresh for well over a week if properly stored in a refrigerator.

For a lighter version of the Italian dressing, substitute the mayo with low-fat mayonnaise.
