After searching high and low for a flavorful Italian vinaigrette style homemade salad dressing, we finally found a winner. This search was the result of a dressing we had on vacation in Cabo San Lucas at Senor Greenberg. We couldn't stop talking about it - so wonderful.

This dressing is full of garlic and has a bright vinegar flavor, not oily at all. The original recipe called for less pepper and less cheese, we found this proportion perfect for our tastes.

3/4 cup light olive oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons water
1 clove of garlic, pressed
2 teaspoons of sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
3 teaspoons of grated Parmesan cheese

Combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, pepper first. Add oil, garlic and cheese - shake to blend. Allow flavors to blend an hour or so. Will be more flavorful the following day. Be sure to refrigerate any leftovers.

Makes about 1 cup.
