In a large bowl, combine garlic, mustard powder, olive oil , vegan mayo, vegan parmesan, Italian herbs, vinegar season with salt and pepper. Mix with a wire whisk or spatula until well combined and creamy.

Alternatively add all the ingredients in a mason jar which is big enough. Put a lid on top, shake 5 times up and down until everything is well mixed.

Can you freeze homemade dressing?

Yes you can, but thawing will be an issue, because the ingredients will separate from each other.

So do yourself a favor and store it in the fridge where it will last for 2 week. Also it will taste better than freezing it.
