Iris Warren

Report

This creamy Italian salad dressing is exactly what you think it is—a creamy mix of garlic, mayo, red wine vinaigrette, oregano, and oil. It's perfect on a crisp salad of iceberg, croutons, red onions, and everything else you remember from restaurant versions.

Instructions

In a large bowl, use a fork to mash the garlic with 1/2 teaspoon of salt to form a paste.
Whisk in the mayonnaise, vinegar, oregano, and sugar. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking until the dressing is emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
