Cup of Yum
Notes
- Yield: Recipe makes about 1 cup dressing.
- Storing: The texture is best when fresh, but it can be stored in a sealed jar or airtight container in the fridge. It keeps for about 4 days.
- Thickness note: This dressing thickens as it sits, and becomes more of a gel-like consistency. So give it a stir before serving.
- Creamy version: Stir in 1/4 cup dairy-free yogurt.
- Make it sweeter: This dressing is more tangy than sweet as written. To make it sweeter, decrease the vinegar and/or increase the maple syrup.
