Ingredients

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice about 1 medium lemon
  • ½ tablespoon capers drained
  • 1 tablespoon capers brine
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly milled

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in a mini food processor (mini chopper).
  • Process until mostly smooth.
  • Taste and add a pinch of salt if the dressing is not salty enough.

Notes

This recipe makes about ⅔ cup of dressing.
If the dressing is too thick, thin it out with more brine from the capers jar, lemon juice or a splash of cold water. 
If you don't want to use a food processor, mince the capers and garlic and whisk it together with all the other ingredients in a small bowl. 
Substitute vegan mayo for regular mayo and nutritonal yeast for parmesan.
