Sweet Italian House Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, oregano, sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Stir in the parsley, parmesan and pecorino. Season with more salt and pepper. (The dressing will keep, refrigerated, up to 1 week.)

Steps:

• For the pancetta: Heat a medium skillet over low-medium heat and add the pancetta in a single layer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate in a single layer until ready to top.
• For the sweet Italian vinaigrette: Put the parsley and thyme in a medium bowl and add the vinegar. Let stand for a few minutes, then whisk in some salt and pepper. Whisk in the garlic, oregano, mustard and honey. While whisking, slowly add the olive oil and whisk until combined.
• For the salad: Place the iceberg and romaine in a large bowl. Top with the red cabbage, mushrooms, carrots, tomatoes, Gorgonzola and pancetta. Before serving, pour in a healthy amount of dressing and mix well. Top with black pepper if desired.
