Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a dollop of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt to the dressing. If you prefer a milder flavor, use sweet onion instead of regular onion. You can also substitute apple cider vinegar for the regular vinegar for a slight twist. This dressing works well with a variety of salads, including the refreshing Company Coleslaw.
Serving Suggestions
This dressing is perfect for tossed salads, but it can also be drizzled over grilled vegetables or used as a marinade for meats. It pairs beautifully with dishes like Plum-Barbecued Chicken or can enhance the flavors of a simple green salad. Experiment with different types of greens for varied textures.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Before using, give it a good shake or stir, as the ingredients may separate. Avoid freezing, as this can alter the texture and flavor of the dressing.
