In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, white vinegar, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk until well blended.
Add the granulated sugar, minced garlic, dried oregano, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Continue whisking until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Slowly add the water, one tablespoon at a time, while whisking continuously. This will help adjust the consistency of the dressing to your preference.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding a bit more salt, pepper, or sugar to balance the flavors.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Give the dressing a good stir or shake before use. Serve over a fresh salad and enjoy!
