Creamy Italian Dressing

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 cup oil
• 2 teaspoons dry onion
• 2 or 3 tablespoons vinegar
• 1 tablespoon sugar or honey
• 1/2 teaspoon basil
• 1/4 teaspoon EACH oregano, garlic powder & salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper

Measure the mayonnaise into a bowl. Stir in the oil, 2 tablespoons at a time. Make sure all of the oil is blended in before adding more. Add the onion, and vinegar. Stir again, until all of the vinegar is absorbed. Add the sugar, basil, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper. Blend well. Store the mixture in a pint sized canning jar in the fridge. This may also be prepared by whirling everything together in a blender until it is smooth. This dressing is so tasty I am often tempted to eat it by the spoonful. Try it on your favorite salads, and also on baloney sandwiches, and in pita bread sandwiches. Excellent.
