Tips:

  • For a creamier dressing, use whole milk or yogurt instead of vinegar or lemon juice. While for a tangier dressing, use more vinegar or lemon juice.
  • To make a dressing that is thicker, use less liquid. For a thinner dressing, use more liquid.
  • To add more flavor to your dressing, try adding herbs, spices, or other ingredients like bacon, cheese, or croutons.
  • If you are making a dressing ahead of time, be sure to store it in a covered container in the refrigerator. Most dressings will last for up to a week.
  • When you are ready to use your dressing, be sure to shake it well before using.
