Randy made this for our saturday New Orleans supper to have on our salad and we all were pratically licking our plates! This is quite possibly the best (and easiest) salad dressing EVER! I have adapted it slightly as the original called for plain olive oil plus 6 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese. I prefer to use parmesan infused oil, because I always have it on hand (I just pop the hard rinds left over from parmesan wedges into a bottle of good olive oil. After about a month the oil smells divinely like good parmesan), and also because I had no actual parmesan in the house when I made this a couple of days ago.
- 1 cup olive oil (or parmesan infused olive oil)
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 6 tablespoons good quality grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 6 whole cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 + 1/2 teaspoons salt
Mix everything in a jar and shake.
How easy is that? It stays suspended beautifully. Refrigerate what you don't use.
I made this dressing last night and you are right, it's amazing!!
Thanks for the recipe.
