- Salad topping
Shake the bottle well before opening. For salads, drizzle the desired amount over your greens. It can also be used as a dip for raw vegetables like carrots, celery, and bell peppers. Many people enjoy it as a spread on sandwiches or wraps, adding moisture and flavor. It works well as a marinade for chicken or pork before cooking, tenderizing the meat and infusing it with taste. You can also mix it with shredded chicken for a quick chicken salad.

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate the dressing to maintain its freshness. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed to prevent spoilage. It is best to consume the remaining dressing within the recommended timeframe after opening, typically a few weeks, for optimal flavor.
