Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider adding a tablespoon of mayonnaise or Greek yogurt. If you prefer a tangier dressing, try substituting lemon juice for half of the vinegar. This dressing can be made ahead of time, allowing the flavors to meld together. Always use fresh eggs for the best flavor and safety. Adjust the salt and red pepper to taste for personalized spiciness.
Serving Suggestions
This versatile dressing is perfect for drizzling over salads or as a dipping sauce for fresh vegetables. It pairs beautifully with Maroo'S Baked Cheese for a delightful appetizer. Consider using it as a dressing for grain bowls or as a marinade for grilled chicken. For a refreshing twist, serve it alongside sliced cucumbers or cherry tomatoes.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Before using, give it a good stir or shake to recombine the ingredients, as separation may occur. This dressing does not freeze well due to its egg and dairy content, so it's best to make it fresh as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of oil in this dressing?
Yes, you can substitute the oil with avocado oil for a lighter flavor or olive oil for a more robust taste. Just be mindful that the flavor profile may change slightly. Experimenting with different oils can add unique notes to your dressing.
Is it safe to use raw egg in this recipe?
Using raw egg carries a risk of salmonella. To mitigate this, consider using pasteurized eggs, which are treated to eliminate bacteria. Alternatively, you can replace the egg with a tablespoon of mayonnaise for a similar creamy texture without the risk.
How can I make this dressing vegan?
To make this dressing vegan, replace the egg with a tablespoon of aquafaba (chickpea brine) for creaminess. Use a plant-based condensed milk and substitute the oil with a neutral vegan oil. This way, you can enjoy a delicious dairy-free version of the dressing.
