Parmesan Vinaigrette

I served a salad with our meal recently and I wanted to try a different type of salad dressing to switch it up from our normal Fran’s vinaigrette. I ran across a recipe on EatingWell for this parmesan vinaigrette that looked easy to make, used ingredients I had on hand and it sounded tasty. I loved the creamy and salty flavor from the parmesan cheese and the zing from the white wine vinegar. My son who normally doesn’t use care much for salad dressing really liked it and so did my husband and I. My daughter LOVED it. I used the leftover vinaigrette on a salad the following day and it was even more flavorful & delicious.

Place the parmesan, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic and honey, to taste, in a small food processor and blend until well combined. Drizzle in the olive oil and vegetable oil as it’s blending until fully incorporated. Taste and add more honey if needed then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Set aside to allow flavors to mingle. Whisk well, if needed, before serving. Enjoy.
