Creamy Italian Dressing

From Miami County Locally Grown

<p>My Grandma&#8217;s Italian Mix is based on my Italian Maria&#8217;s spice mix that she used for <span class="caps">EVERYTHING</span>. One day I wanted a creamy dressing other than the regular oil and vinegar I make with Maria&#8217;s Italian Mix so I thought what would Grandma do ?<br /> Yes you are right; I added cream cheese and mayonnaise to Grandma&#8217;s Mix and it was wonderful !</p>
