Creamy Italian Dressing

Posted on October 28, 2008 by Dirty Martini

For a Party of Six to Eight

1 or 2 garlic cloves, sliced
Kosher salt
¼ c heavy cream
¼ c Best Foods mayonnaise
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard (use the real stuff)
1/3-cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Using a mortar and pestle (or the flat side of a chef’s knife) crush the garlic and a large pinch of kosher salt into a paste.  Transfer the paste to a medium mixing bowl and whisk in the cream, mayonnaise, vinegar, and mustard until well blended.  Slowly add the olive oil while whisking. Add the parsley and oregano, mix well and then season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.  Enjoy!
