Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using high-quality anchovies or substituting with capers for a vegetarian version. Adjust the amount of black pepper according to your spice tolerance. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend longer and consider straining the dressing through a fine mesh sieve. Always taste for seasoning before serving.
Serving Suggestions
This dressing is perfect drizzled over fresh salads, grilled vegetables, or as a dip for raw veggies. It pairs beautifully with Jello Salad (This Is Almost Like A Dessert, Yummy.) for a delightful contrast. For a heartier meal, serve it alongside grilled chicken or seafood.
