Notes
Note 1: This makes more dressing than you’ll need, but I like having extra. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week and shake well to recombine. Use on more sandwiches, veggies, or salads. It’s so good!
Storage: Sandwiches are best eaten right after assembling. The filling doesn’t store well once dressed.
