Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a dollop of mayonnaise or yogurt. If you're looking for a healthier alternative, substitute half of the vegetable oil with unsweetened applesauce. You can also adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar or using honey for a more natural sweetener. This dressing serves well as a marinade for grilled vegetables or chicken.
Serving Suggestions
Murray's House Dressing is perfect for drizzling over fresh salads, especially those with mixed greens and fruit. It also pairs beautifully with the Apple-Berry Crisp as a unique contrast.

Storage & Reheating
Store the leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for up to two weeks. Before using, give it a good shake or stir, as separation may occur. If it thickens too much, you can thin it out with a little water or vinegar to regain the desired consistency.
