Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper.
  2. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking continuously until the dressing is emulsified and smooth.
  3. If the dressing is too thick, add water, one tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more Parmesan for a saltier flavor or lemon juice for more tang.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

For a richer flavor, use high-quality mayonnaise and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
