Notes

Blend it smooth: If you don’t have a blender, whisk it in a bowl, but blending ensures a super creamy texture.

Room temperature ingredients: They mix more easily, so let cold items sit out for a few minutes.

Customize the tanginess: Adjust the apple cider vinegar or mustard to suit your taste buds.

Meal prep-friendly: This dressing stays fresh in the fridge for about a week, making it perfect for busy weeks.

Storage instructions

Airtight container: A mason jar or any container with a tight-fitting lid keeps the dressing fresh.

Refrigerate promptly: Store in the fridge as soon as possible to maintain its creamy texture and tangy flavor.

Shake it up: If it separates slightly, just give it a good shake or stir before using.

Best before: Enjoy within 5-7 days for peak flavor and freshness.
