Pro tips

  • Not just for green salad! Try this dressing on avocado toast, as a marinade for grilling meats, seafood and poultry, or add a spoonful or two to soups for a boost of flavor!

  • Add grapeseed oil (or any light, neutral flavored oil) to serve as a vinaigrette.

  • Serve on its own for an oil-free version.

  • Not a fan of balsamic vinegar? Try subbing red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, or lemon juice.
