Ingredients

Creamy Italian Dressing

  • 1/2 cup Mayonnaise, I use Best Foods
  • 2 tsp Wholegrain mustard
  • 2 tsp White wine vinegar
  • 1 tsp Italian Stallion
  • 2 tsp Parmesan, I use the powdered Dairy Works one for this
  • 1 tsp Man Grind

A delicious Chop Salad that goes perfectly with this dressing.

  • 1 Cos lettuce, chopped
  • 1/2 Red onion, sliced
  • 1/4 cup Olives, pitted
  • 1 punnet Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3 slices Vogels toast bread, tossed with olive oil and Italian Stallion and toasted
  • 3 rashes Streaky bacon, grilled and crispy
  • Feta, crumbled

Instructions

Creamy Italian Dressing

  1. In a bowl, mix together all the dressing ingredients.  Depending on how thick your mayonnaise is, you may need to add a little bit of the vinegar at a time to make sure it doesn't get too runny.  Best Foods mayo is very thick and I found the 2 tsp of vinegar made it the perfect consistency.  

  2. Keep any leftover dressing in a covered jar in the fridge for a week or two.

Chop Salad

  1. Assemble your salad in a large bowl.  Use the cos lettuce as a base and then add the toppings on top.  When you're ready to serve drizzle with the dressing to taste and toss.
