Ingredients

Scale
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise (Hellmann’s recommended for best taste)
  • 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (opt for high-quality, imported vinegar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard (adds depth without overpowering)
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or substitute with one small clove, minced)
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (adjust based on sweetness preference)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning (use fresh herbs if desired)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step1: Combine Ingredients

  • Add all ingredients to a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step2: Whisk Thoroughly

  • Use a whisk to combine the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning as necessary.

Step3: Taste and Adjust

  • Depending on your balsamic vinegar’s sweetness, tweak sugar levels. Want it thicker? Add extra mayo; for a thinner consistency, mix in a splash of water.

Step4: Refrigerate

  • Transfer the dressing to a jar and chill for a few hours to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a sweeter dressing reminiscent of store-bought options, increase the sugar slightly.
  • Use fresh herbs for a vibrant flavor twist or omit herbs for a pure, tangy profile.
  • Double the ingredients to make a larger batch for multiple uses.
