Elevate your salads with our irresistible Parmesan vinaigrette dressing! This homemade vinaigrette is not just a simple salad dressing; it’s a flavor-packed experience that marries the tangy zest of vinegar with the rich, nutty flavor of Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
Scale:
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon honey (optional)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey. Whisk until well blended and the mixture is smooth without any lumps.
Slowly drizzle in the extra-virgin olive oil while continuing to whisk to emulsify the dressing.
Add the minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl. Stir well to combine.
Season the vinaigrette with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
For a smoother dressing, consider blending the mixture in a small food processor or using an immersion blender until creamy.
Once mixed, let the vinaigrette sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve immediately over your favorite salad, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
