Parmesan Dressing Recipe

Want a yummy salad dressing recipe? When I was at Sabatino's in Little Italy years ago , I had their salad with "House Dressing." I knew that I could somehow replicate it. Here is my rendition of that salad dressing. Many have asked for it so enjoy!

Parmesan Dressing

Please keep in mind that although these are the ingredients, the total of each is an estimate. Please adjust it to your personal taste.

In a blender put in 1 -2 large stalks of celery and half of sweet onion. Add about a teaspoon oregano, one clove garlic, 1/2 teaspoon celery salt, 1/2 teaspoon cracked pepper, 1/4(or less) teaspoon sugar, and about 1 cup grated parmesan cheese. Pour in about 3/4 cup red wine vinegar and a couple dashes of balsamic vinegar. Start blending. When combined and blender is still running, slowly add extra virgin olive oil until fully emulsified. Taste and adjust to you liking.

This salad dressing is best when it is served the same day. It will store a few days in frig. You may have to blend it again. Not only is this great on salads, but try it on sandwiches, subs, or as a vegie dip.
