Can I make Everyday Creamy Vinaigrette without mayonnaise?

You can swap the mayonnaise for plain Greek yogurt if you prefer. It will be slightly tangier and a bit lighter in texture, but still creamy and delicious.

How long does Everyday Creamy Vinaigrette last in the fridge?

Stored in an airtight container, it keeps for up to 5 days. Always give it a smell and quick stir before using.

Can I make it spicier?

Absolutely. Add an extra pinch of red pepper flakes or a tiny dash of hot sauce for more heat.

What if I don’t have red wine vinegar?

You can substitute white wine vinegar or even fresh lemon juice in a pinch. The flavor will shift slightly, but it will still be bright and tasty.

Is this dressing good for meal prep?

Yes! It’s fantastic for meal prep salads. Just keep the dressing separate until ready to serve so your greens stay crisp.
