  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese shredded or shaved

For the dressing

  • 1 packet Italian dressing mix
  • ¾ cup olive oil
  • ⅓ cup white wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup water
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise

Instructions
 

For the salad

  • Place the salad mix, tomatoes, red onion, pepperoncini, olives, croutons and parmesan in a large bowl.

For the dressing

  • Whisk all the ingredients together until smooth.
  • Pour ⅔ cup dressing over the salad. Toss to combine, then serve.

The dressing recipe makes enough for 2-3 days' worth of salads. You can store any leftover dressing in the fridge for up to 5 days. This salad is best served immediately as the croutons will soften as they sit in the dressing.
