Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, you can add a tablespoon of mayonnaise or sour cream. If you prefer a tangier flavor, consider using red wine vinegar instead of regular vinegar. Adjust the amount of garlic powder to your taste, as it can easily overpower the cheese. This dressing pairs well with salads featuring fruits or nuts, like those found in American recipes.

Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. The flavors will meld and improve over time. If the dressing thickens, simply whisk in a tablespoon of milk or water to reach your desired consistency before serving.
