Garlic and Herb Salad Dressing Mix

Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container. Once mixed into dressing, refrigerate.

Follow the package directions for the best ratio of mix to liquid ingredients.

Taste and adjust seasonings before serving, adding a pinch of salt or pepper if needed.

Whisk in a bit of Dijon mustard for added emulsification and tang.

Use the prepared dressing on salads, as a marinade for chicken or fish, or as a dip for vegetables.

Not letting the dressing sit for a few minutes after mixing, which allows the herbs and garlic to rehydrate and flavors to meld.

Using too much or too little liquid, which can result in a dressing that's too thin or too thick.
