Creamy Parmesan Dressing
This creamy Parmesan dressing is the kind of quick, no-drama sauce that makes even the simplest salad taste special. It comes together in five minutes with pantry ingredients, has a rich garlicky bite, and is thick enough to cling to every leaf. Use it on salads, spoon it over a warm pasta salad, or serve it as a dip for fries and chips — it’s bold, versatile, and the kind of dressing you’ll want to keep in your fridge all week.
Ingredients
- 60 g freshly grated Parmesan about 3/4 to 1 cup very loosely packed
- 1 large garlic clove or 2 small
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 2 tsp warm water or more, depending on how thick you want the dressing
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt taste and adjust as needed
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
- Mix until creamy.
- Add a tiny splash of warm water if you prefer it thinner.
- Taste and adjust seasoning — I like it thick enough to cling to greens and pasta.
