One night at dinner, we started eating and completely ignored our salads. My son noticed this and said, “Let’s make it a family rule and start with our salads first.” That has come back to haunt him time and time again especially on pizza nights. I will have to take a picture of my fridge door for you. It’s full of store-bought dressings, but when I have the time, I make my own. It tastes a million times better when it’s homemade too. For a special occasion – romantic dinner, your in-laws are in town, your neighbor got rid of their yappy dog – make this Lemon Parmesan Dressing.
You guys, it’s so good! Creamy and lemony. One of the curses (or blessings) of being Mexican is that I love saucy food. I add this Lemon Parmesan Dressing to several dishes, and it totally elevates the meal. Chicken piccata. Grilled fish. You can even use it as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets, or add some to your sauteed spinach or steamed artichokes. Yummy, yum, yum!

This Lemon Parmesan Dressing is made with Nancy’s Cottage Cheese. I might be slightly obsessed with their cottage cheese. It’s tangier than the norm but that’s because of the probiotics. I don’t take probiotic supplements, and I would put money on that it has something to do with my Nancy’s cottage cheese obsession. The company has a crazy story too. The Grateful Dead played at a benefit concert for Springfield Creamery, the makers of Nancy’s, to keep the company going. Crazy, right?! It’s family owned and operated since 1960. They have dairy and soy products, if that’s your thang. You can check out more of their products HERE.

My family, we eat a lot of salads, and I ALWAYS make my own dressings. It’s healthier than store bought, has no additives and hidden sugars… and it’s an opportunity for me to experiment with different spices, herbs and taste 😉 Your dressing sounds really delicious. I have to try and make it 🙂 Thank you for sharing.
Yes! Love homemade dressings. Hope you try this one. It’s a keeper. 🙂
This looks so delicious! I love lemony dressing, and I agree – homemade dressings are so much better than store bought 🙂 The story of Nancy’s being helped out by the Grateful Dead is so cool!
Thank you. It was such a big hit at my house. I have to make it again soon. 🙂
I love the idea of putting lemon and parmesan together for this dressing. Springtime always makes me want to eat fresh foods and I just resolved to take my work to lunch every day next week – making a batch of this dressing for my salads!
Agreed! I can’t wait for Spring, and all the Spring food that comes with it.
This dressing sounds good. It looks creamy too. Thanks for showing us how to make it. Now I’m in the mood for a salad. 🙂 TGIF!
Yes! I put this dressing on everything – chicken, fish, and yes, salad. 🙂
I’ve only made homemade dressing once and it was definitely better than store bought! This sounds like a great flavor and would definitely make me want to start with salad 😉
I have tons of store bought dressings. I really need to get out of the habit especially when dressings like this one are so easy. Hope you give this one a go. 🙂
I love lemon and parmesan! Two of my favorites! Nancy’s is such a great brand too.
I completely agree. Love Nancy’s. 🙂
This looks so rich and creamy! Love the use of cottage cheese.
Nancy’s cottage cheese is tangier than the norm. It’s perfect in this dressing. Enjoy! 🙂
This creamy dressing looks delicious. Salad is on our menu plan for Saturday and I was trying to decide what kind of dressing to make. I think I found it!
It’s delicious. You won’t be disappointed
What a delicious-looking homemade dressing! I have all the ingredients for this delightful recipe on hand right now, except for Nancy’s Organic Cottage Cheese. I’ll look for that brand on my next trip to the grocery store. Thanks so much for sharing this yummy recipe. 🙂
