Recipe Notes

If you stop and start the blender when blending this dressing it will get very thick. Because of that I recommend blending it all in one go, unless you prefer a thicker type dressing with more of a dip consistency.
This recipe makes a large batch of dressing. If you prefer a smaller batch I suggest cutting the recipe in half.
