A dry Parmesan and spice blend packed in a small bag. Keep it on hand or give it as a gift, then shake it with vinegar and oil for a salad dressing.

Ingredients

Dry mix

  • 3 to 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
  • Dash ground red pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Dressing

  • 1 package Parmesan Dressing Mix
  • 1/4 cup vinegar
  • 1 cup salad oil

Directions

  • Place the Parmesan, salt, sugar, dry mustard, red pepper, and pepper in a small zip-top bag.
  • Close the bag and shake until the seasonings are evenly blended.
  • If you are storing it or giving it as a gift, label the bag.
  • For dressing, empty one package of the mix into a small cruet or jar.
  • Add 1/4 cup vinegar and 1 cup salad oil.
  • Shake well.
  • Leave to stand for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • Shake again each time before you use it.

Notes

Dry mix: sealed in a cool, dry place, or refrigerated for best quality; use within about 1 month. Prepared dressing: refrigerate tightly sealed, use within 3 to 4 days; discard sooner if it smells off or the cheese looks clumpy or slimy.
