Ingredients

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic minced
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
0-2 tablespoons water see instructions

Instructions

Place all ingredients EXCEPT the water in a small food processor or blender and process until blended.
Check the dressing for consistency. If you like it thicker you're probably done, but if you like it thinner, add a bit of water and process again. Repeat until you get it just like you like it. The dressing will get a little thicker as it sets.
Refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 12 hours.
Stir before serving.

Notes

Use freshly-grated Parmesan cheese for the best results.
