  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard

Instructions

  2. Add Mayonnaise: Pour 1 cup of mayonnaise into a medium mixing bowl to serve as the creamy base of the dressing.
  3. Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze in 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice to add brightness and tang.
  4. Add Garlic: Mince 2-3 cloves of garlic finely and add them into the bowl for aromatic flavor.
  5. Add Parmesan Cheese: Grate ½ cup of Parmesan cheese and mix it in to contribute a savory umami taste.
  6. Add Worcestershire Sauce: Incorporate 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce to deepen the flavor profile.
  7. Season: Sprinkle in ½ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper for balanced seasoning.
  8. Add Dijon Mustard: Mix in 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard to help emulsify and enhance flavor.
  9. Whisk Ingredients: Whisk all ingredients together vigorously until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
  10. Adjust Flavor: Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed for saltiness or acidity.
  11. Chill: Transfer the dressing to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
  12. Final Touches: Stir the dressing before serving and, if necessary, thin consistency with a little water or lemon juice.

Notes

  • Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before using to allow flavors to develop fully.
  • Adjust garlic quantity to taste for a milder or stronger garlic flavor.
  • For a lighter version, use light mayonnaise and reduce the amount of Parmesan cheese slightly.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • If the dressing is too thick, add lemon juice or water gradually to reach desired consistency.
