The Realtor's Italian Salad Dressing

Realtor by day, Chef by night's Note:

There are so many recipes for Italian dressing out there but I had to share mine. Because, of course, mine is the BEST! After the first time, you'll want to double this recipe.

• Total Time: 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 8

Yield: 1.0 cup

• ½ cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons minced onions
• 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¾ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon dried basil leaves
• ¾ teaspoon dried mustard
• ¼ teaspoon dried oregano leaves
• ¾ teaspoon sugar
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ cup cider vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in blender and process 2 minutes. Don't skip the blender and just stir it or shake it, it won't be as good.
2. Chill at least 3 hours. It's best if you make it a day ahead and it just gets better with age.

I really, really wanted to like this, but we just didn't like it that much. I made exactly but did use fresh garlic. We thought it was a bit too tart and not sweet enough. I added some honey at the end and it was a little better, but still too tart. I used organic apple cider vinegar and not sure if that's stronger than regular apple cider vinegar. I may make it again with a little less vinegar and more sugar. Thank you!

This is OH SO GOOD! I made it as written except for substituting 1/2 of the olive oil with salad oil and using fresh basil (extra amount). I definitely think the blending part is important and keeping it for a day in the frig before using it. DELISH! Thanks, Realtor!

Made this last night and I used fresh minced onions, about1 1-1 1/4 teaspoons sugar and added some Franks hot sauce for a little zip...everyone enjoyed this. Thank you.
