To use this vinaigrette, simply shake the bottle well before opening. Pour the desired amount over your salad, ensuring an even coating. It can also be used as a marinade for proteins like chicken or fish, allowing the flavors to penetrate before cooking.

It works well as a dipping sauce for appetizers such as spring rolls or dumplings, offering a refreshing counterpoint to fried foods.
