The Murph's House Italian Salad Dressing

One of my "pet peeves" is when you open the refrigerator and

there are several bottles of opened (and most often beyond their shelf life)

salad dressings taking up space. This is why I almost never purchase bottled dressings.

This one is our family favorite. Murph would rarely eat salad until I came upon

this recipe and modified a bit to suit our taste. It's quick and easy to whip up and

I always have the ingredients on hand.  I make it so often, I have the recipe memorized.

Ingredients:

1/3 Cup White Vinegar

1/3 Cup Mayo (I normally use Light)

1 Tbs Corn Syrup (can also substitute liquid sweetener)

1 Tbs Lemon Juice

1 tsp Onion Powder

1 tsp Garlic Powder

1 tsp Basil

1 tsp Oregano

3 Tbs Grated Parmesan/Romano Cheese

Combine all ingredients and mix well. Chill for at least 30 minuts so flavors can blend.

Serve on a nice mixed green salad! Yummy!

I normally mix it in my magic bullet or a shaker type container. The dressing will be thin, but a little goes along way. You can also adjust the vinegar, sweetner and or change up the seasonings to suite your own taste.
