Ingredients
Instructions

- Shake very well until the dressing is emulsified.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier dressing, consider adding a dollop of Greek yogurt or mayonnaise. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, substitute honey for the sugar. Adjust the curry powder to taste; a milder variety can be used if desired. If garlic salt isn't available, use fresh garlic or regular salt and adjust accordingly. This dressing is also great for drizzling over Mixed Fruit Salad(Diabetic).
Serving Suggestions
This dressing is excellent over fresh greens or as a dip for vegetables. It pairs beautifully with grilled chicken or fish, enhancing the flavors without overpowering them. Drizzle it over a bowl of Vegetable Soup Mixtures for added zest, or use it to dress a quinoa salad for a light meal.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover dressing in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for about a week. Before using, give it a good shake to re-emulsify, as separation may occur. Avoid freezing, as it can alter the texture and flavor.
