Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 hard-boiled eggs
  • 1 TBSP white vinegar (or apple cider vinegar)
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard (or yellow, or ½ tsp mustard powder)
  • ⅔ cup water (adjust to your desired consistency)
  • 1 TBSP Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, peeled (or 1 tsp minced garlic, or ½ tsp garlic powder)
  • 2 TBSP fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup fresh shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Put all of the ingredients, except the parmesan cheese, into a blender or food processor.
  • Blend for about 30-45 seconds or until smooth and creamy. If you find that the dressing is a bit thick for your liking, you can add a little more water to thin it out to your preferred consistency.
  • Once it's creamy add the Parmesan cheese and pulse a few times just to incorporate it. This keeps the dressing creamy while still giving you that classic cheesy flavor and a little texture from the Parmesan. If you prefer it ultra-smooth, you can blend the Parmesan in with everything else from the beginning—but traditionally, pulsing it in at the end gives the best flavor and consistency.
  • Adjust the seasonings to taste. Feel free to add more lemon juice for extra tang, more garlic cloves if you’re a garlic lover (guilty!), or a pinch of salt if you think it needs it.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • This dressing will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Store in an airtight container, like a mason jar.
  • The recipe takes about 5 minutes to throw together if you already have hardboiled eggs on hand. If not, then add about 10 minutes for cook time.
