Ingredients
Dressing Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, chopped (If your food processor won't cut it finely.)
- 1 cup mayo (recommended: Hellman's Vegan Mayo) (Can substitute with Greek yogurt for a tangier version.)
- 2 tsp dijon mustard
- ½ tsp mustard powder
- 1-2 tbsp white vinegar (Start with one tbsp, add more for a more acidic dressing.)
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce (For a savory, umami flavor.)
- ½ cup shredded parmesan (Use freshly grated for more flavor.)
- 1/2 piece lemon (juice only) (Adds brightness.)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (approx.)
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Add all ingredients except for the olive oil to the food processor.
- Select the puree option on your food processor.
- Begin to puree the ingredients and scrape the bowl once for even mixing.
- Slowly add one tablespoon of olive oil while pureeing until the dressing is creamy.
- Test the dressing for texture and taste, adjust salt, lemon, or vinegar if needed.
- Add more olive oil until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge and use within 3-4 days.
Notes
Allow the dressing to rest for 30 minutes in the fridge before serving to enhance flavor. If it thickens too much, stir in a teaspoon of water or more lemon juice before serving.
