Directions

1. 1

   In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, Crushed Red Pepper Flakes, Italian Dressing Ready Mix, and vinegar until uniform.

2. 2

   Slowly drizzle in the olive oil while whisking briskly to bring the dressing together.

3. 3

   Whisk in the Highlands Italian Cheese Sprinkle.

4. 4

   Alternatively, shake everything together in a sealable jar, or blitz in a blender for a thicker emulsion.

5. 5

   The dressing will separate as it sits — give it a vigorous shake or whisk just before serving. Store, sealed, in the refrigerator. Makes about 1⅓ cups.

6. 6

   Serving suggestions: Toss with a mix of greens and finish with fried goat cheese and pine nuts. Also a bright dressing for a chicken salad.
