Instructions

- Mix well until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Tips & Substitutions
For a twist, try using flavored oil instead of corn oil for added depth. If you're low on apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar can be a suitable substitute. Adjust the seasoning to your taste; adding fresh herbs like basil or parsley can elevate the flavor, especially in Mediterranean recipes. For a zesty kick, a splash of lemon juice can also enhance the dressing.

Consider tossing it with marinated broccoli chunks or festive bean salad for added flavor. It's versatile enough to complement many dishes, making it a staple in your kitchen.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dressing in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to a week. Before using, give it a good shake as the ingredients may separate over time.
