US Cups - Metric

Instructions

Option 1 - Blender

Add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor.
Blend on a low setting until smooth and creamy.

Option 2 - Whisk

Add all the ingredients to a medium bowl or a large jar.
Whisk vigorously until all the ingredients are combined and the dressing has a smooth consistency.

Notes

No blender AND no whisk? There's a third option. Add all the ingredients to an airtight container (I often use a clean nut butter jar). Secure the lid tightly and shake intensely for 10-15 seconds until combined.

Tip 1 - Season gradually. Salt and pepper are added to taste - make sure you don't go overboard. Add them slowly, taste again after blending, and adjust if you need more.
Tip 2 - Add fresh herbs: Sprinkle some finely chopped herbs like parsley, cilantro or dill for a burst of freshness and color.
Tip 3 - Storage: Store any leftover dressing in a sealed container or mason jar in the fridge for 4-5 days.
