Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, substitute half of the salad oil with Greek yogurt or avocado oil. If you prefer a spicier kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper. Be sure to beat the mixture thoroughly to achieve a smooth consistency; this helps the flavors meld better. This dressing pairs wonderfully with a fresh garden salad or as a dip for veggies, reminiscent of American recipes.
