Notes

Adjust the Consistency: For a thinner dressing add more milk, for a thicker dressing dressing add less milk.
Let it Chill: The dressing is great served immediately, but the flavors really blend together so well after letting it refrigerate and chill overnight.
If it Separates: If your dressing separates a little in the fridge, its totally normal. Just shake it up or stir before serving.
Serving Size: The recipe makes about 1 1/4 cups of dressing. So it makes about 8 portions of about 2.5 TBS each, or 9 portions of 2 TBS each. The nutrition information is calculated for 8 portions.
