Pro Tips For Making This Recipe

  1. Start by adding 1 tablespoon of water or milk at a time until you reach your desired dressing consistency—thicker for dipping or thinner for drizzling over salads.
  2. Allow the dressing to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together and intensifies the taste. I like to do it one day in advance!

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the dressing last in the refrigerator?

The dressing will last up to 5 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Be sure to give it a good stir before using, as it may thicken over time.

Can I make this dressing ahead of time?

Absolutely! In fact, making it ahead allows the flavors to meld together. Just store it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use it.

How can I make the dressing thinner?

If you prefer a thinner dressing, gradually add more water or milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Can I use fresh herbs instead of dried?

Yes, fresh herbs can add a bright, fresh flavor to the dressing. Substitute with roughly double the amount of fresh herbs as you would dried.
