Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, shake until well combined. Alternatively, for thicker dressings like the ranch or Italian, you can combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender and pulse until well combined and smooth.
  2. Refrigerate and let flavors blend for at least 30 minutes, preferably 2 hours, before serving.

Notes

  • You can swap out the olive oil for any other mild-flavored oil (I like avocado oil!).
  • If you’re using unseasoned rice vinegar or low sodium soy sauce, check for seasoning and then add more salt to taste.
