Prep Time: 5 minutes
Chilling Time: 1 hour
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup full fat mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup good quality, finely grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Grate your Parmesan cheese using a fine-tooth grater. If you’re using pre-grated cheese and it’s not super fine, you can blend it in a spice or coffee grinder. This step is optional, but it does give the dressing a smoother consistency.
  • Mix all of the ingredients together until fully combined. Then, pour it into a mason jar or other air-tight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour, or overnight. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure your dried basil is still "fresh". Overtime, dried herbs can become stale.
