Probiotic Parmesan Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

Drench any salad in the salty, nutty flavors of Parmigiano Reggiano with this probiotic Parmesan vinaigrette. It’s the perfect salad dressing for those who believe there’s no such thing as too much parm.

  • Prep: 10 minutes
  • Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons fermented vegetable brine (sauerkraut or pickle)
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano, freshly grated
  • 1 tsp garlic granules/powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon honey

Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients to a wide mouth jar. This recipe makes about one cup of dressing so a 16 oz mason jar works great.
  2. Using an immersion (stick) blender, pulse until fully combined and smooth. (You can also blend the dressing in a food processor if you don’t have a stick blender)
  3. Serve right away, or store the dressing in an airtight jar/bottle in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

  • If serving after refrigerating: the dressing may separate and the cheese may clump a little in the fridge. Let the dressing come to room temp and shake it well before serving.
  • My favorite fermented vegetable brine to use is leftover roasted garlic sauerkraut brine or leftover horseradish pickle brine.
  • Fermented vegetable brine is what makes this dressing probiotic, but you can substitute it with store-bought pickle brine, pepperoncini brine, olive juice, or extra vinegar if needed.
