Notes
I am someone who watches their sugar intake. I personally omit all of the sugar. The result is a tangy dressing. If you would like to use sugar in this recipe, you may use up to to 1 tablespoon of sugar. I would suggest that you make the dressing without sugar and then slowly add ½ teaspoon at a time until it tastes as you would like it to.
The vinaigrette will last for about 2 weeks in the refrigerator if stored in a jar. I use mason jars.
You’ll want to give it a good shake before you drizzle it so that all of the ingredients are combined as sometimes it does separate.
I love to serve this dressing over greens, on quinoa bowls, or I use it as a marinade for chicken.
