To make a basic dressing, simply combine the contents of this packet with oil and vinegar. The exact proportions can vary, but a common ratio is one part mix to two parts oil and two parts vinegar. Whisk these ingredients together until well combined. For a creamier dressing, you can add mayonnaise or sour cream. This mix can also be stirred into plain yogurt or sour cream to create a quick dip for vegetables or chips. It works well as a dry rub for chicken or pork before grilling or roasting.
