Tips & Substitutions
For a slightly tangier dressing, consider adding more vinegar or using apple cider vinegar instead. You can replace the sugar with honey or agave syrup for a healthier option. If you prefer a thicker dressing, blend in some Greek yogurt. Always taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more garlic salt or mustard to match your preference. This dressing pairs beautifully with Margo'S Vegetable Dip.
