Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier dressing, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. If you're out of tomato soup, you can substitute with canned diced tomatoes blended until smooth. Adjust the vinegar to your taste; apple cider vinegar can offer a unique twist. For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a splash of hot sauce. This dressing is versatile and pairs well with salads or as a dip.
