Maggianos House Dressing My Way Recipes

Steps:

• Pour water and vinegar into a blender bowl or food processor. Add sugar, mustard, peppers, oregano, garlic, salt and garlic. Blend until smooth. Combine the olive oil and the vegetable oil. While the blender is running, slowly drizzle oil into blender and blend for 3 to 4 minutes. This creates the emulsion, which will make the dressing appear creamy and slow down separation. Now for the Parmesan. You have a choice. If you would like a very smooth dressing, add the Parmesan and pulse with other ingredients. If you would like more texture, just add the Parm to the blender bowl and simply mix it in with a spoon, though with the Parmesan stirred in, the dressing seems to separate faster.
