CREAMY BALSAMIC DRESSING
This creamy Balsamic Dressing is another new favorite! It has a creamy base with balsamic vinegar and herbs plus Parmesan cheese. Homemade dressings are so much fun and taste much better than store-bought dressings, in my opinion, plus you know what goes into them.
It is so quick and easy to make this zesty Balsamic dressing. The balsamic vinegar, lemon juice and sour cream lend a tangy flavor to the dressing. I made this recipe for our salad when we were expecting company. I didn't have the ingredients to make my Creamy Italian Dressing, so this recipe was born! Our guests and Rian, in particular, loved this dressing. He asked me for the recipe. The ultimate compliment!
I didn't use fresh Parmesan cheese, but you can add a sprinkling of fresh Parmesan cheese on top of your dressing and garden salad. Yummy! I always have Parmesan in a cannister available in the fridge and it is quite lovely in this recipe. If you want to go fresh Parmesan cheese all the way, make sure it is finely grated. To blend the dressing, simply use a whisk. No need to haul out your blender.
