Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon crushed garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all of the ingredients—grated parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, crushed garlic cloves, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper—into a food processor bowl.
  2. Blend Sauce: Turn on the food processor and blend the mixture until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring all ingredients are fully incorporated and evenly mixed.
  3. Store: Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate. It can be stored for up to 2 weeks, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh squeezed lemon juice.
  • This sauce works well as a dip for vegetables or wings, a spread for sandwiches, or a drizzle over salads and cooked vegetables.
  • Adjust garlic quantity according to your taste preference for more or less pungency.
  • Store in the refrigerator and consume within 2 weeks for optimal freshness.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan cheese rather than pre-grated for better flavor and texture.
