- Adjust: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Store: Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; shake or whisk before using.
Notes: Read through the full recipe before starting so you have all ingredients prepped and ready to go.
Tips: Taste as you go and adjust seasoning to your preference before serving.
Storage: Store in a sealed jar in the refrigerator for up to a week; shake well before using as it may separate.
Swaps: Feel free to swap in seasonal vegetables or pantry staples you have on hand, adjusting cook time as needed.
