Directions
- Place dressing ingredients in a jar and seal. Vigorously shake jar to combine dressing ingredients. Refrigerate until needed.

Recipe Options: Instead of mixed salad greens, use an equal amount of chopped romaine or baby spinach in this salad. For a darker, slightly sweeter tasting dressing, use balsamic vinegar, instead of the wine or cider vinegar.
Serving Suggestions
