Notes
Make this dressing your own with one of these twists (these won't change the length of time you can keep the dressing for):
Use apple cider vinegar
Use red wine vinegar
Use balsamic vinegar
Use maple syrup
Use a nutty oil (walnut is a fav!)
Add some dried herbs (rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, dill)
Use a grainy mustard
Fresh additions (if using these the dressing must be used within 3 days) Pour a small amount of your dressing into a measuring cup and then add the fresh ingredients. That way, your big batch can remain in the refrigerator.
