• Salad Mix – You can easily top this salad dressing over a bag garden salad mix or romaine lettuce in a bowl.
• Double the Recipe – This salad dressing will last for a few weeks. So I like to mix up a double batch to pour over my salads.
• Adding dressing to salad – We recommend adding the dressing when you are ready to serve. If you add the dressing to early then your salad will become soggy. You can also have a dish on the side so everyone can add as much as they want.
