The Parmesan cheese in combination with the Worcestershire sauce and garlic bring this dressing to a heavenly realm. Thank you for making the food world a better place!" ★★★★★-Martha
If you read my Homemade Chunky Blue Cheese Salad Dressing post, you know that I have this thing against store bought salad dressings. Homemade Salad Dressing is one of the easiest things to make and you get such a big bang result for your labor.
This Real Simple Creamy Parmesan Salad Dressing is similar to a Caesar Salad Dressing except I add in a little Dijon Mustard to give it a kick.The result is PERFECTION! It is creamy and peppery with just a little tang! HELLO!
Throw in some grilled chicken or grilled shrimp and you have a delicious, flavorful meal. I have even used this dressing on a Greek Salad and it was FABULOUS! The feta really compliments the creamy, rich flavors in the dressing.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Xoxo-Katie.
Ingredients
You will need the following ingredients to make creamy parmesan dressing.
- Dijon mustard- Do not substitute with a different type of mustard.
- mayonnaise-Do not substitute with Miracle Whip.
- lemon juice
- white wine vinegar
- shredded parmesan- Freshly shredded is the best. If you substitute with grated parmesan, the flavor will be a little more mild and the texture will be even thicker.

Absolutely delicious! It’s a very close match for Sully’s steakhouse in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. I craved this dressing all through my pregnancy but couldn’t get it because we moved away. I will be saving this for pregnancy #2!
