Creamy Italian Dressing
Description
This Creamy Italian Dressing features a base of mayonnaise and sour cream combined with acidic elements like red wine vinegar and fresh lemon juice. Gradually whisking in olive oil helps achieve a velvety consistency that coats salad greens evenly. The addition of granulated sugar balances the acidity.
An assortment of herbs and spices such as onion powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, parsley, and basil provide distinctive Italian flavors. Grated Parmesan cheese contributes a mild salty and savory element that enhances the overall depth without overpowering.
Refrigerating the dressing for at least an hour allows the flavors to harmonize, and it will keep well in the fridge for up to a week. This dressing works well on a variety of salads, lending creaminess and herby acidity that complements fresh vegetables and greens.
