Tips & Substitutions
For a spicier kick, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or substitute the curry powder with a garam masala blend.

Adjust sugar according to your taste preference to balance the acidity of the lemon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dressing ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare this dressing a day in advance. Just store it in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed jar. The flavors will meld together overnight, enhancing the taste even further. Just remember to shake it well before serving.
Is it possible to make this dressing vegan?
Absolutely! This dressing is already vegan-friendly as it contains no animal products. Just ensure that the mustard you use is also vegan, and you can enjoy this dressing without any concerns.
What type of oil works best for this dressing?
A light oil like canola or sunflower oil works well, as they won't overpower the other flavors. However, you can also use olive oil for a richer taste, keeping in mind that it may impart a stronger flavor profile to the dressing.
