Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
• 0.25 cup White wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Xanthan gum (optional, for thickening)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the extra-virgin olive oil and white wine vinegar. Whisk until the two ingredients are well blended.

Step 2

Add gluten-free mayonnaise and whisk until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

Step 3

Pour in the water and lemon juice, continuing to whisk to ensure everything is combined.

Step 4

Stir in the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and minced garlic, ensuring they are distributed evenly in the dressing.

Step 5

Add the dried Italian seasoning, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until all spices are evenly mixed throughout the dressing.

Step 6

If a thicker dressing is preferred, sprinkle in the xanthan gum and whisk vigorously to avoid any lumps.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing to a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before using to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 8

Shake well before each use. The dressing can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
