By: KITTENCAL
Apr 18, 2005
This dressing must chill for 6 or more hours before serving don't even think about serving it right away as the flavors intensify with chilling time, even better if made a day ahead, I have left the Parmesan as optional you may add in or omit, you may adjust all amounts to taste.

- 2-4 teaspoons white sugar, more if needed to taste or corn syrup
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (optional)
- fresh ground black pepper (to taste)

This dressing is so tasty! It's so easy to make, and it's even better he next dy. My hubby is so finicky about Italian salad dressings, and it's gets a 5 stars from him. He has started to give me the 1-5 rating system. It's so funny, we'll be eating and he'll put 5 fingers up or 3 or how ever many he likes the recipe. Thanks, Kitten for sharing.

My Dh loved this. I made as written, mabey a touch on the heavy side w/ the seasons but not to heavy. i tend to have a heavy hand. This was very good. I did make it in the blender so it was very easy. I did use 3 tsp of sugar ( tried to stay in the middle of the road). My DS loved this and he doesn't "like creamy italian") he's a purest or so he says,LOL. Will definately make again. My DH loved this and says he prefers this over store bought. Store bought is to thick and has a "funky" flavor. I wonder how it would taste with fresh herbs??? I guess i will see in the summer. Thanks for the winner recipe. I wouldn't change a thing and the thickness suited us just fine. Happy cooking!!!
