Oh my goodness! I could pour this luscious Amazing Parmesan Dressing on just about anything. Marinate it on chicken, shrimp, fish, turkey, drizzle over salads—trust me, there is a place for it on your dinner table and in your belly.
What I love most about this dressing is how lemony it is. I add freshly squeezed lemon juice and the zest for more lemon power. There is also the perfect amount of sweetness to combat the sharpness of the citrus. Lastly, let’s not forget the star of the show, the parmesan cheese—which gives it more depth of flavor.
