How To Serve It Best

This dressing pairs wonderfully with mixed greens, roasted vegetables, or grain bowls. Try drizzling it over a spinach and walnut salad or use it as a zesty dip for fresh veggies. It also complements turkey or chicken salads nicely.

How To Store For Later

Store the dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Shake or stir well before each use, as the ingredients may separate over time. Avoid freezing, as it can affect the texture and flavor.
