Categories: Dressing/Sauces

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup heavy mayonnaise such as Hellmann's
• 3/4 cup "salad dressing" such as Miracle Whip
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 21/2 Tbl. aged red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp. dried minced onion
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp. sugar
• 1/2 tsp. dried parsley
• 1/2 tsp. dried basil
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
• 1/4 tsp. dried mustard
• 1/4 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
• ⅛ tsp. white pepper
• ⅛ tsp. kosher salt
• 1/16 tsp. onion powder
• 1 tsp. Kraft Parmesan Cheese (the "green can" stuff)

Directions

1. In medium-sized bowl, add mayonnaise, salad dressing, buttermilk and red wine vinegar. Stir slowly doing a figure 8 to start so that you don’t splash, then whisk until smooth.

2. Add rest of ingredients and stir until very well mixed.

3. Cover bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, overnight is ideal! (This is to let the flavors mellow, marry, and the dried onions to soften.) *The only ingredient that gets a little stronger is the red wine vinegar after chilling for a couple of hours. So don’t add more than my recipe calls for until after you taste it once it has been refrigerated for at least 2-3 hours. Stir in a teaspoon at a time until it’s reaches the tanginess that you personally enjoy. (The vinegar will then re-mellow out overnight. So if you accidentally add too much vinegar, it won’t be ruined.) In other words, the vinegar gets stronger after a few hours, then mellows out a lot overnight. Odd, but true.

4. Enjoy over your favorite salad, or use as a spread on a sub or grilled chicken sandwich, or even use as a dip for veggies!

5. Possibilities of uses are endless
