Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix vinegar, sugar, and vegetable oil together.
- Use immediately over green salads, avocados, or most other salads.
Tips & Substitutions
For a tangier dressing, try using apple cider vinegar instead of regular vinegar. You can also substitute honey or maple syrup for sugar if you're looking for a natural sweetener. To enhance the flavor, consider adding minced garlic or fresh herbs like basil or dill. This dressing pairs beautifully with Granny'S Homemade Kraut for a zesty twist.
Serving Suggestions
This dressing is perfect for green salads, but it also works well drizzled over avocado slices or a fruit salad. For a complete meal, try it alongside grilled chicken or shrimp. It can also complement dishes like Hawaiian Coleslaw, enhancing the overall flavor profile of your meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Before using, give it a good shake to recombine the ingredients, as they may separate over time. This dressing is best used fresh, but if you have leftovers, it can still add great flavor to salads.
