Marita says
This dressing is the best!! So much better than a store bought bottle and quick/easy to make. When I’m feeling lazy, I actually don’t always use the blender, I sometimes just shake it up in the jar. It doesn’t emulsify but I just shake it up again before I’m going to use it.

I just made a double batch of this dressing for my lunches this week (I eat a lot of salads), and it’s SO good. I love how versatile it is and how I could switch it up with a different vinegar or add some herbs or lemon juice for different flavors. Will definitely make again!
