Ingredients & Substitutions
I love using fresh citrus juice because it gives this dressing such a vibrant flavor. If you’re out of oranges or limes, feel free to experiment with lemon juice or even some apple cider vinegar for a different tang. Also, if you want a little more zest, add some lime zest or orange zest right into the blender!
Tips & Notes
- •I keep mine in a glass jar in the fridge, and it stays fresh for about 3-4 days, but it’s so good, it usually disappears sooner!
- •If you want to add a little more depth, try mixing in some fresh herbs like cilantro or basil.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll throw in a tablespoon of nutritional yeast for a cheesy flavor boost.
- •You can also blend in a handful of spinach for extra greens and a pop of color!
Storage & Freezing
Store your dressing in an airtight container in the fridge. Just give it a good shake before using, as it may separate a bit. It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you’ll find it’s still delightful a few days later!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different sweetener?
Absolutely! You can swap in agave syrup or even a little bit of coconut sugar if you prefer. Just adjust the amount to your taste.
