Expert Tips

  • Storage: This dressing will stay fresh for 5-6 days when stored in an airtight container.
  • Two ways to make: My two favorite ways to make this dressing are: 1) In a jar — add all ingredients and SHAKE! 2) Using my mini handheld frother!! It whisks the dressing together so perfectly!
  • Sweetness: Some people prefer this dressing slightly sweeter so taste it, then add more sugar if needed.
