Vinegar and Lemon: Stir in the red wine vinegar and fresh lemon juice. These acidic components provide a tangy and zesty flavor to the dressing.

Mayonnaise: Whisk in the mayonnaise until it’s well combined with the herb and vinegar mixture. This will add creaminess and body to the dressing.

Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. The cheese adds a savory and slightly salty element to the dressing, enhancing its overall flavor.
