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.

I didn’t think I would be able to use dressing without oil, but this tasted great on salad without the oil, thanks!
