Try different vinegars, such as apple cider vinegar, for variety.

tools needed


Blender or Food Processor: For combining all the ingredients and creating a smooth salad dressing texture. If you don't have a blender or food processor you can whisk the ingredients together in a bowl or mix in a shaker container (like the kind you use to mix protein shakes).

Jar with Tight-Fitting Lid: For storing the salad dressing in the refrigerator. Make sure to have a clean jar with a lid that seals tightly to keep the dressing fresh.

Measuring Cups and Spoons: For accurately measuring out the ingredients such as sugar, vinegar, and spices.

Spatula or Spoon: For scraping down the sides of the blender or food processor to make sure all the ingredients are well combined.

what goes with it?


Fresh, Crispy Greens: pair this tangy dressing with a crispy salad full of fresh vegetables. The creaminess of the dressing will balance out the crunch of the veggies.

Fried Chicken: dunk your crispy fried chicken tenders in this dressing for a unique twist on a classic combination.

Potato Salad: mix this dressing into your favorite potato salad recipe for a tangy twist.

Grilled Salmon: drizzle this dressing over a perfectly grilled salmon fillet for a burst of flavor. The acidity of the dressing will cut through the richness of the fish.

Dipping Sauce: use this dressing as a dipping sauce for your favorite appetizers, like chicken wings or mozzarella sticks.
