CREAMY ITALIAN
DRESSING
This creamy Italian-style dressing is our new favorite! It has a creamy base with red wine vinegar, lemon juice 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 Italian dressing. The red wine vinegar, sour cream and lemon juice lend a tangy flavor to the dressing. Lately, I am just always making sure this dressing is in the fridge. I put it on all kinds of things, not just salads.
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.
