CREAMY ITALIAN SALAD DRESSING

Category: Salad Dressing

1 cup mayonnaise (do not use salad dressing)
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons half and half cream, or to taste
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons dried parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoon dried basil
1 tablespoon corn syrup (no substitutes!)
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Frank’s Red Hot Sauce, to taste

In a food processor blend the first 14 ingredients until smooth and combined (about 8-10 seconds). Season with black pepper and Frank’s Red Hot Sauce to taste. (If you prefer a thinner dressing add in more light cream after adding in the hot sauce.) Refrigerate for at least 2 or more hours before serving. Yield about 1-1/2 cups

Notes: Do not substitute the corn syrup for any other ingredients such as sugar or honey, it will alter the flavor

Plan ahead the dressing needs at least 2 or more hours of refrigeration time before using, the longer the better, kick this up as much as you like by adjusted the hot sauce
