Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise or Greek yogurt, Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and lemon juice until smooth.

  2. Add the minced garlic and Dijon mustard. Whisk until evenly combined.

  3. Stir in the sea salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning or parsley.

  4. Taste and adjust. Add more lemon juice for brightness, salt for balance, or Parmesan for extra richness.

  5. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water and whisk again until the dressing reaches your preferred consistency.

  6. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. Stir or shake well before serving.

Simple tip.

For a lighter version, swap the mayonnaise for plain Greek yogurt. You will still get a creamy texture with plenty of Parmesan and garlic flavor.

Make it your own.

Add extra Parmesan for more richness, additional lemon juice for brightness, or fresh parsley and chives for a more herb-forward dressing.
