    I love cilantro so much, I really need to make this! I just realized, I’m coming through Vernon on Aug 10. Will you still be there, or am I too late? haha. I feel like we’re never out there at the same time!

    Has anyone tried this with another oil? It sounds amazing but I have an avocado allergy 🙁 🙁 and have no idea what oil might be the best substitute.

      Hey Lisa! I would try olive oil. Or anything with a mild flavour. Hope that helps!

      Hey Amber
      I kept mine for a week before it ran out so you are safe for that long for sure. I haven’t tried keeping it longer though. It will partly depend on how fresh your ingredients are when you make it so use your own judgement there.

      It really depends on what you are using it for. For example a small side salad would require much less dressing than a large salad you are eating for a meal. I wouldn’t say there is a standard serving size.
